Desertification or Annexation of Rural Space ? The Case of the Millevaches Highlands.
The peasants of the Millevaches highlands are loosing their hold on a soil where fallow land is expanding and even more so the retimbering undertaken by the landowners who are mostly city dwellers. The small commercial production of calf intended for meat consumption, is not doing well. An economic reconversion is necessary and we are witnessing the development of extensive stock farming which can only be successfully carried out on large farms. These, however, are still not capable of managing the totality of the untimbered expanse. All the less so that the promoters of the forest control the real estate market. As opposed to a policy which would seek to maintain a local productive activity, this development of the timbering industry serves national ends and yields profits which, for the most part, will in no way benefit the region. Such are the facts which, in the Millevaches region, are being obscured and dramatized by speeches on its inevitable desertification. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
