The observations were performed in a group of rural farmers living in the region of Alt Empordà (Girona, Catalonia) during the period 2012-2013. The aim is to evaluate alternative economic practices that are carried out in the rural areas, and in particular from the sector that is engaged in agriculture. It aims to analyze practices intensity and economic, demographic and cultural factors influencing its development. The analysis also compares data from rural areas to data from the city of Barcelona, which were analyzed in the study "Beyond the Crisis: alternative economic practices in Catalonia” (Conill et al., 2011).1 aMassoni, Emma, Soy1 aConill, Joana1 aVarga, Diego1 aPintó, Josep  uhttps://degrowth.community/conference2014/scientific-papers/3345
