Abstract
A study of the Franco-Belgian polder of the «Grande Moëre» with its rural landscapes and its agriculture differing slightly from these of the surrounding regions of Maritime Flanders, shows that it makes up a transition between Belgium and France. Medium sized farms, smaller than these of Maritime Flanders but larger than these of Belgian Flanders carry out a intensive and modern mixed farming associating cereals and industrial plants to stock farming on a small scale. Stock farming which, though rapidly declining in France holds on better in Belgium. Human and economic contacts are few between the farmers of the two frontier communities making up the polder.
