Abstract: The aim of this paper is to identify the issues and the avenues for action to develop local multifunctional agriculture. Following an appropriate literature review, it emerges that the competitiveness and sustainability of agricultural systems are the two major issues at stake in the adoption of a multifunctional agricultural model. Moreover, financial assistance in the form of flexible contracts granted to farmers by the local public authority and the development of specific markets seem to be the two credible economic instruments for financing such agriculture. The deployment of such instruments is constrained by the characteristics of externalities or goods of public interest recognised to the other functions of agriculture.
