Agricultural land: lands under pressure, choices for tomorrow

Meadows and fields outline our familiar landscapes. They cover 43% of Walloon territory. Behind the scenes, these lands, the main production tool of our farms, are subjected to heavy pressures. Their ownership, access, use, transmission, and preservation are a source of concern as these aspects question the future of agriculture, our food, and our territories. To understand these challenges, we will draw up an inventory in Wallonia and France. Who are the owners? Who farms them, under what conditions, and for what uses? Who covets them? How are they protected? What developments are taking shape? What solutions exist and are being considered? These findings will serve as a starting point for an exchange to enrich reflection and open the debate.
