Abstract

Agricultural area in city is not considered any more in the projects of territorial organization as a simple land reserve for urban expansion momentarily supplying food. The services and immaterial co-products in relation to the agricultural activity of production are however generally badly controlled by the State or the market. From the Antananarivo case, capital of Madagascar, the article wonders about the interests into play and the role of the local actors in the decisions of durable management of the urban space, from an analysis, on one hand, of various functions of the agriculture, on the other hand, of the impacts and risks connected to the competition between the city and the agriculture. The article shows that the heterogeneity of agricultural situations and the multifonctionnality of the agriculture constitute a frame renewed for the definition of local policies likely to generate a balanced economic, social, environmental and territorial urban development.
