Abstract

According to Marsden’s (1999:243) approach, we can identify at least
four spheres associated with land development: mass food markets
quality food markets agriculturally related development and rural
restructuring (non agricultural development). Particularly important
in the current globalization context, are the density of affluent
consumers of quality products and rural amenities, and the availability
of national an foreign funds to finance the politics and regulations
involved on those different development paths. Nevertheless, there are
many lagging or less favored rural areas that will not be able to pursuit
any of these paths, entering or accelerating a marginalization process,
raising a rural development issue and the question of the role of specific
policies needed to propose a positive restructuring.
