The implementation of an alfalfa crop farming project is evaluated. Launched by a group of ecologists and a farming cooperative, this project is aimed at reconciling agriculture and environment by reintroducing alfalfa in a cereal farming area.
Permanently maintained pastures in France are often located in less desirable areas of the country and are extensively used for grass based farming, dairy farming an mountainous regions), and suckler farming (cattle and sheep, down into the valleys).

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a robust tool often used for eco-design. It allows the assessment of environmental impacts, at a global scale, accounting for all stage of a product life cycle, “from cradle to grave”.
A study on the diversity of land use spatial organization of current mountain systems sheds a light on the different factors and conditions that determine land use.
