L'agriculture méditerranéenne française et l'évolution de la politique agricole commune

For two centuries, trench mediterranean agriculture (AMF) became more and more specialized in crops which take advantage of its mediterranean climate ; wines and horticultural products make up todays 80 % of production value. For ten years, the enlargment of competition, in spite of technical progress, led to a crisis which starts again the fall of farms number and croped areas. The changes of market organizations in CAP reform don't affect directly mediterranean products but the conditions of single market making, the level of community preference, the agri-environmental and forestry measures are important for AMF.
