Many rural regions have now become fragile with their integration in the modern agrofood system. This
is the case for numerous remote regions of Canada like the Chaudière-Appalaches region in Quebec. This
paper presents an action-research aim in establishing a rural plan based on a solid territorial diagnostic
and well designed strategy of rural development. The diagnostic aprroach as well as the rural development
strategy aprroach presented here have their origins in an attempt of apllying the sustainable rural
development theory, considered an operating methodology. The problem is how the formation of a new
development dynamics, based on public policies and on action strategies that respect the contemporary
economic limitations can be assured, but, at the same time, value the agroecological potentialities of those
lands and integrate the expectations and wills of the population involved. That is to say that it´s matter
of social acceptability of the agricultural practices facing limitations or economic oportunities. Such
harmonization among economy, environment and society constitues a necessary condition for the arising
of conditions to support the sustainable rural development as we try to demonstrates in this paper.
