Résumé : | The LAS (Localized Agri-food Systems) approach has been widely recognized as an efficient analytical framework to understand the organization and the functioning of agricultural and food production systems focusing on relationships between products, local societies and territories. In disadvantaged rural areas, in particular, it helps to understand industry activity concentration and spatial dynamics generated by food microenterprises, usually considered as backward, informal/ illegal and not competitive in the global market. Our paper addresses the dynamics of sheep breeding and the dairy industry systems in a mountain area of Southern Albania (municipality of Vithkuq, Korça District), after the fall of communism in 1991 and the subsequent agrarian reform leading to very small farm holdings and land fragmentation. At the same time the massive out-migration of the active population in lowlands and abroad (mainly in neighboring Greece) still further degraded local socio-productive systems. Nevertheless, outcomes of the fieldwork research (diagnostic phase and field observation) show a tendency to increase in the herd size accompanied by some entrepreneurial farming and collective action initiatives aiming to improve farm productivity and market integration. |
