Coopératives et syndicats agricoles dans l'Ouest. L'exemple de la Loire-Atlantique

Jean-Pierre Peyon

Économie rurale, 1992, vol. 207

Abstract: More than elsewhere the farmers' organizations of Loire-Atlantique manifest the inconsistencies of the rural world in its relation with agricultural co-operatives, especially at the end of the sixties. After the 1968 ideological turmoil, the circle « Paysans Travailleurs » (Peasant-Workers) preaches an active contestation while the FDSEA (Departmental Federation of Farmers' Syndicates), which has broken with its national representative FNSEA, endeavours to be critical and attentive to the evolution of cooperation. The UDSEA (Departmental Union of Farmers' Syndicates) considers the co-operative enterprise as a useful economic tool ; however its solidaristic management should not be a handicap for efficient farmers. At last, farmers who sympathize with FFA (French Federation of Agriculture) contest its too collectivist organization. New farmers generations are less interested by basic values of co-operation : during the eighties, the economist and liberal ideology has taken the lead over the solidaristic and associationest vision.
