Abstract: Short food supply chains are part of a movement promoting smaller-scale agriculture. They constitute a potential alternative to the productivist system of agricultural production, which has suffered from a series of crises. The purpose of this article is to examine the transformations taking place in the farming profession by analyzing how market gardeners who are selling in short supply chains integrate themselves professionally. Concerning their relationships with professional activities and labor, we ask whether they are participating in the resurgence of ?peasant? agriculture and in a modernization of the peasant figure as described by Henri Mendras. Ultimately, under these conditions farmers may construct themselves as a subject and develop capacities to reflect on their actions and to act according to their intentions.
