Abstract

[fre] Après avoir précisé les grands traits du fonctionnement des trois systèmes constitutifs de l'exploitation agricole (écosystème cultivé, système de production, famille), et insisté sur le rôle déterminant de la famille et de la durée attendue de la relation familile-exploitation, les auteurs montrent quels points ont pu être modifiés du fait de l'évolution contemporaine des techniques. Analysant les difficultés de l'adoption d'une innovation technique (les propositions techniques sont sectorielles, peuvent rendre le système plus fragile, ne sont pas toujours compatibles avec les choix faits dans le passé et l'histoire de 'l'agriculteur), ils montrent qu'il existe trois trajectoires principales d'évolution différenciant des types d'exploitations, dont certains seulement ont des résultats technico-économiques élevés. Ils soulignent également que les évolutions techniques, elles-mêmes induites par les évolutions socio-économiques, font apparaître des points de blocage nouveaux, et évoquent en conclusion la perspective future de stabilisation des systèmes de production autour de modèles améliorant plutôt la qualité de vie des agriculteurs que les performances techniques. [eng] Thoughts on certain aspects of the present-day evolution farms - The authors of this paper first define the main lines of the way the three systems that make up farming (cultivated ecosystem, production system, family) function and insist on the fundamental role of the family and of the expected duration of the family-farm relationship, and then show what aspects may have been modified by modern development in techniques. They analyse the difficulty in adopting any form of technical innovation (technical proposals are by sector, may make the , system more fragile, are not always compatible with choices made in the past and with the farmer's past life) and show that farms may develop in three main ways and that not all of them have high technical and economic results. They also underline the fact that technical improvements, that result from socio-economic changes, show up new blockages and in conclusion refer to the future outlook for the stabilization of production systems around models that improve the farmers' life style rather than technical performances.
