Abstract

Even if they seem natural, the relationships between crop productions and livestock productions are not yet very developed. The initial conditions of the CAP and environmental constraints did not favour coordinated actions. With some exeptions, the plant and animal fields have no coordinated strategies. The current conditions should support the reinforcement of these relationships. The new economic deal, the new consumption tendancies, and the rise of regional policies encourage them. To use novel scales for novel reasonings and to revise practices of decision are the conditions necessary to this change.
