BELO-MOREIRA, Manuel. The new territorialisation of rural space in the globalization context: entrepreneurship in marginalized areas. agric. soc. desarro [online]. 2004, vol.1, n.1, pp.85-100. ISSN 1870-5472.

According to Marsden's (1999:243) approach, we can identify at least four spheres associated with land development: mass food markets quality food markets agriculturally related development and rural restructuring (non agricultural development). Particularly important in the current globalization context, are the density of affluent consumers of quality products and rural amenities, and the availability of national an foreign funds to finance the politics and regulations involved on those different development paths. Nevertheless, there are many lagging or less favored rural areas that will not be able to pursuit any of these paths, entering or accelerating a marginalization process, raising a rural development issue and the question of the role of specific policies needed to propose a positive restructuring.

Palavras-chave : agricultural related development; mass and quality markets; non agricultural development; rural development.
