Abstract
A number of research–development studies of livestock production systems in regions of France which are experiencing local farming crises are described. The effectiveness of a national experimental programme for promoting sustainable regional development is examined at various locations in France. The experiment focuses on action at the farm level and takes into account the methodological lessons of the reported research–development actions to achieve sustainable land use. The methods of achieving land use sustainability are analysed by studying the diversity of local production systems, farm operation and spatial structure in relation to long-term changes in the characteristics of the region. General principles for addressing animal husbandry in a land use sustainability scope are drawn from this set of experiences.
