The Geneva region is mostly known for its urban character. But it also has a significant rural dimension since indeed about half of its territory is dedicated to such activities. Until recently, cultivated areas have well resisted to urbanization pressure thanks to a green ring and to specific federal laws. However, the recent changes in Swiss agricultural policy and the development needs of the region have altered this balance between agriculture and urbanization. Within the new Master Plan of the Geneva Canton, agricultural spaces are considered as areas of future urbanization. This situation endangers local agriculture that might lose some of its best market garden areas situated in the expanded urban centre. At the same time, the Geneva Canton is developing various strategies to strengthen the links with its agriculture.
