Hétérogénéité, déterminants et trajectoires du revenu des agriculteurs français

The analysis of farmers' income must take into account its composition (agricultural sources, non-agricultural sources, and public support), its level (per farm, per labour unit, per household), its dispersion (between farmers, between production systems) and its evolution (in the short and long term). The objectives of the Agr'Income project are, first, to review the different definitions of the concept of "farm income" and the indicators and sources usually used to characterize and quantify it, and then to describe as precisely as possible the diversity of French farmers' income. Secondly, it is a question of analyzing the technical and economic determinants that govern the construction of the income generated by farms, and the trade-offs between immediate remuneration of work and deferred remuneration in the form of asset accumulation. Thirdly, the project aims to study the extent to which certain income support instruments defined within the framework of the CAP make it possible to achieve the political objectives set in terms of convergence and redistribution of aid, and whether this type of income support proves to be coherent with the simultaneous pursuit of objectives in terms of environmental issues.
