      abstract = {The multifunctionality of Swiss agriculture is well  recognized and is written into the Federal Constitution.  Rural landscape maintenance is one of these public  functions but it is challenged by high forest expansion.  Within this context, the interdisciplinary PASTO project  tested new beef production practices that should both help  maintain the landscape and create added value for the local  economy. A typology of the Hérens cattle breeders of the  Valais was established. The landscape maintenance and  marketing practices of the different breeder groups are  very different. The public policy instruments are  translated by the social representations and motivations of  the breeders and result in heterogenous spatial impacts.  The question is if the establishment of a regional meat  chain with landscape objective can represent a  harmonization tool that may give a shared meaning and  objectives to the existing heterogenous practices and a  more coherent spatial and territorial impact.},
