Abstract

While the agro-ecological transition is well underway on at least some farms, one of the levers identified to the redesign of technical systems is the issue of work, both in terms of certain farming practices, farmwork organization and the design, experimentation and management activities required by this transition. In addition, several key developments in the recent agricultural context are transforming the parameters of agricultural work and reinforcing the need for agronomists to reinvest in these work-related issues (section 1). Section 2 traces the evolution of farm work issues in research on agricultural technical systems in agronomy (farm work planning, workable days, cognitive action model) and, more recently, interdisciplinary work with ergonomists. The more recent investment in farm work-related issues in systemic livestock research, motivated by the major changes in the livestock sectors, may be a source of inspiration for agronomists. Section 3 proposes a simple framework for stimulating questions for the agronomists, applied to the testimony of a farmer whose transition trajectory provides an opportunity to illustrate the relationships between changes in cropping systems and changes in farm work. Improving such a framework would be a research, development and teaching project in itself for agronomists.
