A propos du livre

À propos des auteurs

Teresa Pinto-Correia is a Portuguese Geographer, with a record of publications on the dynamics and change of European rural landscapes at multiple scales. She develops her research now with focus on the dynamics of agricultural landscapes in the Mediterranean, and how they are affected by different sets of drivers, between production, consumption and protection, creating tensions but also synergies. She coordinates an interdisciplinary research group and she is Director of a research unit with more than 100 researchers, centred on Mediterranean agriculture and environment, aiming to contribute to the sustainability of the production systems and their related ecosystems and landscapes.

Jørgen Primdahl is professor in Countryside Planning and Management at IGN, University of Copenhagen. His background is landscape architecture with a Ph.D. in landscape planning and planning theory.
