Frederic Delattre et al., « The AOC label for Savoyard cheeses : past dynamics, achievements and challenges in the today's changing context (CAP, urban development) », Revue de Géographie Alpine, ID : 10.3406/rga.2005.2375
: The article analyses changes in the recent dynamics of AOC cheese production in Savoie, France, and examines problems related to changes in the economic and territorial context. First, through a cross-analysis of information from the Agricultural Census, examined in the context of urban development and AOC zoning, and economic data from the Réseau d'Information Agricole (agricultural information network), we show how the development of Savoyard AOC production has been positive over the last few decades. Second, we use surveys conducted among farmers to show how urban growth and the changing agricultural policy could be a threat to this favourable development, necessitating a fresh look at the AOC designation system in Savoie.
