Ses objectifs sont les suivants : – Offrir un espace de recueil et d'analyse des expériences sur les dynamiques agricoles (exploitations agricoles, organisations collectives, projet de développement, bassin de production et filière), les évolutions des territoires et les initiatives de développement agricole et rural (coordination entre acteurs, usages et gestion des ressources naturelles, …) ; – Communiquer les résultats de la recherche sur ces dynamiques et initiatives de développement ; – Ouvrir un espace de dialogue entre les différents acteurs du monde agricole et rural sur les initiatives de développement agricole et rural au niveau local ; – Structurer un débat critique et constructif et des propositions sur différentes alternatives de développement rural et agricole. La revue Alternatives Rurales est destinée aux acteurs du monde agricole et rural (tels que les acteurs institutionnels, les agriculteurs, les organisations professionnelles agricoles, les organisations non gouvernementales, les chercheurs) mais aussi aux étudiants et au grand public.
