Développement agricole: Conditions du choix des systèmes et techniques de production par les agriculteurs: l'exploitation vue comme un système

Systems analysis can enable one to understand the choice of production systems and techniques made by farmers. Various inter-disciplinary surveys carried out in particular in the Vosges have led to the farm being analysed as an organized whole, the finalities and regulations of which are complex (progress in methodology is necessary). By considering the farm- farmer system, the family's plan for the farm can be seen, a key element in understanding situations and needs.
