Le rôle respectif du public et du privé dans la fourniture d'informations aux agriculteurs

Public and private information sources for farmers - The main sources of information for the farmer are : 1 . the suppliers of in put, the buyers of out put ; 2. the unions (economic education of the farmers) ; 3. the teachers who have considerably improved the knowledge of the farmers. In the short run there should not be any major change. The number of farmers will decrease but the quality of the knowledge of the farmers will grow rapidly. The farmers unions will have more and more to take into account the non agricultural environment. The constant technico-economic development of the farmers will be done by the input sectors, the agribusiness and more precisely by the cooperative mouvement.
