The Feder’Acteurs project: choosing methodologies along the way to diagnose,design and evaluate crop-livestock interactions at the regional level: the exampleof Chaource PDO

The PDO (Protected Designation Origin) Chaource Union faces a variety of challenges, which lead it to reinforce crop-livestock interactions at the territory level. The PDO union and AgroParisTech have worked together to understand and strengthen existing interactions. Diagnosis, design and evaluation work was carried out collectively to identify the types of crop-livestock interactions and build collective projects on a territorial scale. Here we show how the methodologies were chosen and implemented, what the results were and the problems that arose from them, linked to the difficulty of articulating a diversity of actors and objectives on a territory-wide scale
