Les caractères originaux de la politique agricole française face aux politiques européennes

Abstract: The originality of French Agricultural policy - A renewed value attached to farming in economic policy and a greater value attached to human labour in farming could be said to constitue the originality of French policy. Thanks to this policy Europe has discovered there is wastage not only when the EEC has to dispose of surpasses liable to rot in warehouses, but also when a farmer, discouraged at not being able to stock his harvest or at not being able to afford to send his child to school, leaves the land. This is an essential lesson at a time when the terms of exchange between farming and industry may well not be as favourable for the latter as they have been in the past. This anti-Malthusian attitude has ensured the success of the IVD policy, which in France is regarded as a means of bringing the farm up to date and of increasing production. If the French have made a success of IVD by applying it so widely it is because they felt they were participating in promoting the integration of young people.
