Abstract

[eng] Although joint farming is in the center oj present interest it is not yet very Well \nown. Up to the present time, agriculture has been to a great extent an enterprise where most oj the inputs are self supplied and where the farmer carries on numerous activities. Technical progress has brought about a slow evolution especially in the ancillary farm activities. In the beginning mechanization does not bring about any structural change. But when it develops, it forces the farmers to group their farms or to give them up. The integration phenomenon which has been spectacular in poultry breeding could affect other branches of production in the coming years. « Industrial and commercial joint farming » would help farmers to \eep the control over ancillary activities. . Ambitious farmers would he able to participate in big modern enterprises with joint management. The cooperatives would profit by this situation. The events that upset the organization and the external relations of a farm claim new research methods. This group farming could accomplish the transition from a self supplied agriculture to an industrial agriculture. This would be a conspicuous experience if the farmers could ^eep their decision power. [fre] Bien qu'au centre de l'actualité agricole, les groupements d'exploitation sont encore mal connus. . Jusqu'à nos jours, l'agriculture a été, pour une grande part, artisanale, l'exploitant exerçant de nombreuses activités. . Une lente évolution s'est faite sous l'action du progrès technique, en particulier dans les activités périphériques de l'exploitation. Au départ la mécanisation ne bouleverse pas les structures. Mais en se développant, elle oblige les exploitations à se grouper ou à disparaître. Les phénomènes d'intégration, spectaculaires en aviculture, pourraient affecter, dans les années qui viennent, d'autres branches de production. . «L'agriculture de groupe industrielle et commerciale» devrait permettre aux agriculteurs de garder le contrôle des activités périphériques. Les agriculteurs dynamiques pourraient participer à de grandes entreprises modernes à gestion collective. Les coopératives bénéficieraient de cette situation. . Les bouleversements qui affectent l'exploitation dans son organisation intérieure et ses relations extérieures obligent le chercheur à développer de nouvelles méthodes d'étude. . Le passage d'une agriculture artisanale à une agriculture industrielle peut être réussi par l'intermédiaire des groupements. S'il maintient le pouvoir de décision des travailleurs, ce serait une expérience singulière.
