Abstract

[eng] It may be found surprising that the principles underlying French and, for that matter, EEC agricultural policy, conceived during the period of the post-war expansion have hardly been modified despite the profound changes that have taken place since then. In the socio-economic structure for example, the family group and the group working a farm are no longer the same and the marked revival in rural society has been accompanied by the entry into different spheres of activity by members of that society. At the same time, farmers' organizations and those representing rural communities were becoming more significant... If it is true that the political strength of the farmers has helped them to gain governmental support, may not the time have now come to promote a policy of rural development which is not concerned exclusively with agriculture, a policy which has social rather than solely economic objectives ? [fre] II est saisissant d'observer que la politique agricole de la France et de la Communauté européenne conçue lors des « Trente Glorieuses » ne s'est, dans ses principes, guère modifiée alors que se sont accomplies tant de profondes mutations. Et en premier lieu celle des structures socio-économiques : la cellule familiale et la cellule de l'exploitation ne se confondent plus. On remarque en effet un développement croissant de la pluri-activité des membres de la société rurale laquelle connaît une renaissance spectaculaire. Dans le même temps, les institutions d'encadrement des agriculteurs et des collectivités rurales se sont diversifiées... S'il est vrai que la force politique des agriculteurs leur a longtemps permis de bénéficier d'un soutien général de l'État, l'heure n'est-elle pas venue désormais de promouvoir une politique de développement rural qui ne soit pas exclusivement agricole et dont l'objectif soit plus social qu'économique ?
