Résumé 0

A distributed artificial intelligence simulator was implemented in a context of coastal zone management. The model focuses on an intensive pig farm and its environmental impact in the Finistère department (Brittany, France). The above-ground production system was modelled in space and time according to environmental, climatic and regulatory constraints. Simulation results show that the recent tightening of regulations has reduced the annual balance of pig manure spreading. Conversely, the inclusion of climatic constraints in the new legislation has increased the variability of spreading and exposes the coastal zone to a significant risk of chronic pollution through intensive use of organic fertilisers.
