This paper aims to shed light on the complexity of the territorial constructions and appropriations by crossing of political actions, public debates and spatial practices of the “communauté de communes du Pays de Lunel” (Languedoc, France). In suburbanization, this territory wants to confirm its existence by the affirmation of these agricultural and rural identities. In this way, they want to differentiate themselves from the two most important greater cities of the region (Montpellier and Nimes). It is by agricultural theme that a qualitative study of the SCOT (territorial coherence plan), a short supply chain project and a wine tourism project (political actions) were studied. This first approach aims to capture five public debates (study of the regional and local press) that are directly linked to the political choices made by this territorial authority. In the end, the study shows that these political actions and public debates must be linked with spatial practices. It is only at the scale of suburban farmland place that these three concepts can be related and show the complexity of territorial appropriations, an appropriation by the political (political actions and public debates) and an appropriation through practices.
