Abstract

Twenty-five years after its creation, the Baix Llobregat Agricultural Park remains a relevant case in planning and managing peri-urban agricultural land. Besides being a land-use protection mechanism, the ‘agricultural park’ as a planning figure aims to dynamize its productive, morphological, and natural assets. Within the current debate on the agroecological transition, climate change, and local agri-food systems, this case becomes more relevant given that various scales of horticultural and fruit production play a role in the local agri-food system. This analysis constructs socio-spatial relationships inside and outside the park. It demonstrates that through the relationship between land tenure, land management, and production systems, issues and challenges emerge that can feed the debate on planning peri-urban agrarian spaces and the challenges faced by local production systems.

Veinticinco años después de su conformación, el Parque Agrario del Baix Llobregat es aún relevante en cuanto ordenamiento y gestión del territorio agrario periurbano. La figura de ‘parque agrario’ además de ser un mecanismo de protección del suelo pretende dinamizar sus valores productivos, morfológicos, y naturales. En el debate sobre la transición agroecológica, el cambio climático y los sistemas agroalimentarios locales, este caso cobra mayor relevancia ya que su producción hortícola y frutícola, a través de distintas escalas de producción, cumplen un rol importante en el sistema agroalimentario local. Este análisis construye relaciones socioespaciales dentro y fuera del parque y demuestra que, a través de la estrecha relación entre las formas de tenencia y gestión de la tierra con los sistemas de producción, emergen cuestiones y desafíos que pueden nutrir el debate sobre el ordenamiento de los espacios agrarios periurbanos y el reto que enfrentan los sistemas de producción local.
