Producing Knowledge in the Alps. Collaborative Research in Dairy Microbiology, 1960–Present

Mountain environments have long been the site and target of partner-oriented research policies which favour approaches based on the co-construction of research problems between development actors, professionals and scientists. Research on the French dairy sectors in the Alps and the Jura is an examp...
