ATTER’s observatory of territorial agrifood systems transitions is structured around  an initial  portfolio of 16 case studies gathered in the project and network and the cross analyses carried out on these territories. That will be expanded through the years to include territories in different regions and countries.

It allows an access to each of these case studies :

• Through a map entry and associated thumbnails,

• Through comparative analyses in terms of transition pathways, public policies, facilitation approaches and evaluation of transition, all key issues tackled in ATTER.

All case studies are carefully contextualized with key figures and short descriptions, so that any person involved in the transition facilitation or analysis in another region could easily identify the differences and specificities of his/her own case in relation to ATTER’s case studies.

Carmarthenshire, in Wales, is a region of small-scale farms and businesses. It is specialised in dairy, red meat and horticulture.  During the last 20 years, there has been a rise in agroecological farming, local production and regional branding. Until now highly dependent on European funding, the territory is facing a period of uncertainty with the withdrawal of the country from the EU. A new farming scheme is in the making but in the meantime, the transition might endanger family farming.
