This article analyzes a project aiming to develop extensive fish farming in the Nord-Isère area of France. By reporting on the perceptions of the stakeholders involved in this project and the controversies related to knowledge, we aim to understand how a fish farming project questions the future of this water territory and, more generally, environmental policies. We have conducted a qualitative study based on an analysis of the various stakeholders’ discourses, interviewed between 2022 and 2023 in this territory of ponds. Because of the sectoral logics specific to each type of stakeholder and the weak scientific reference, this fish farming project faces opposition and generates controversies in terms of knowledge. Since the stakeholders position themselves without talking about the same issues, components and parameters of pond landscapes, any productive dialogue to clarify their positions and knowledge frames of reference is impossible. We are proposing a basis for collective discussion on how to think of this fish farming project as a territorial project, in order to deal with the environmental, patrimonial and food issues that will determine its economic and agronomic feasibility and eventual acceptance. |
