Abstract

Cet article questionne l’apport de main d’œuvre bénévole dans les exploitations agroécologiques sur petites surfaces. En recourant de manière volontaire à une motorisation limitée ainsi qu’à des principes de production écologiques, la main d’œuvre s’avère être une ressource précieuse. Quelle soit professionnelle, familiale, amicale ou officialisée dans le cadre d’une convention de stage ou de bénévolat, toute force de travail est la bienvenue dans la phase de démarrage d’une exploitation maraîchère. Les dispositifs expérimentaux de maraîchage alliant maraîchage professionnel et bénévoles nous invitent à réfléchir aux conditions nécessaires en matière de ressources sociales et organisationnelles pour lancer une exploitation et pour pérenniser économiquement et socialement leurs activités professionnelles. Cet article souhaite contribuer à une réflexion sur le lien entre la mobilisation de bénévoles et la viabilité des alternatives économiques.
