Heritage Value of Local Economies (French edition) by Isabelle Anatole-Gabriel

In the field of Studies on the economics of culture, the dichotomy between Heritage value and economic value has long dominated the debates. However, for two decades, the Heritage development of local economies has considerably developed, revealing deep dynamics at the intersection of cultural heritage, of thetraditional agriculture and the territorial development.

Of the Latin American Andes to the slopes of theAnti-Atlas Moroccan, of the terraced rice fields of Asia to the vineyard slopes of Burgundy, the coffee cultures, of theargan, of the saffron, of the tea, of the rice or even from the vine are at the heart of rich local economic systems in Know-how, in vernacular architecture and in Cultural landscapes. These elements are now recognized and protected thanks to International conventions and of the labels such as the UNESCO World Heritage, the Geographical indications, the Ingenious Agricultural Heritage Systems (GIAHS) or even the Biosphere reserves.

In Heritage value of local economies, , Isabelle Anatole-Gabriel, expert in heritage policies, offers an in-depth analysis of how these heritage elements contribute not only to identity enhancement but also to the sustainable economic development territories.

The book notably relies on the example of the Climats from the Burgundy vineyard, registered at the World Heritage, to illustrate the Complementarity between cultural and economic values. It introduces innovative assessment tools combining Monetary and non-monetary data to measure the impact of heritage policies on the agricultural territories.

Another highlight of this essay: its reflection on the complementarity of international labeling schemes. Far from competing with each other, these labels can mutually reinforce one another and become true levers of sustainable development In the long term, provided that the strategies of public, private, and community actors are coordinated.

This book therefore stands out as a essential reference for professionals in the heritage, the actors in the agricultural world, the public decision-makers, the Researchers and everyone who is interested in the Economic value of agricultural heritage. A rigorous, innovative work that enriches the contemporary debate on the interactions between economy, culture, and sustainability.
