Abstract

Efforts des producteurs et perceptions des consommateurs The issue of awareness, recognition and promotion of the agri-environmental efforts of agricultural producers has been a pressing concern in recent years, at least in public discourse. Faced with societal expectations and demands for exemplary behaviour that they perceive as increasingly high, producers feel that they alone must bear the responsibility for the negative externalities of their agricultural production. To address this perception, the Plan d'agriculture durable (PAD) has focused on creating a compensation programme to reward agricultural producers for the agri-environmental efforts they make. In this study, the authors examine the factors that influence Quebecers' perceptions of the sustainability of their agriculture and how they view the responsibility of the various stakeholders in the agricultural sector in managing sustainability issues designated as high priority. Certain avenues for reflection are suggested in order to better reconcile the practices of agricultural stakeholders with citizens' societal expectations. Efforts des producteurs et perceptions des consommateurs La question de la connaissance, de la reconnaissance et de la valorisation des efforts agroenvironnementaux des producteurs agricoles constitue un enjeu prégnant ces dernières années, du moins dans le discours public. Devant des attentes sociétales et une exigence d’exemplarité qu’ils jugent comme étant de plus en plus élevées, les producteurs sentent qu’ils doivent porter seuls la responsabilité des externalités négatives de leur production agricole. Pour pallier cette perception, le Plan d’agriculture durable (PAD) a tablé sur la création d’un programme de rétribution visant à indemniser les producteurs agricoles pour les efforts agroenvironnementaux qu’ils déploient. Dans cette étude, les auteurs examinent les facteurs qui entrent en ligne de compte dans la perception que se font les Québécois et Québécoises de la durabilité de leur agriculture et la façon dont ils se représentent la responsabilité des différents acteurs du secteur agricole dans la gestion des enjeux de durabilité jugés prioritaires. Certaines pistes de réflexion sont suggérées afin de mieux concilier les pratiques des acteurs agricoles avec les attentes sociétales des citoyens.
