Abstract: Agricultural education faces in recent years the challenges of agroecological transition. In this context, the strategic management of farms in a context of change, and its teaching, have become a necessity. But it is clear that teachers face many difficulties and lack the resources to teach strategic management and the farming sustainability in a coherent manner while maintaining the achievements of the systemic approach. Authors propose a methodological approach which aims to overcome these difficulties and to equip teachers. Structured in three stages, the 3S method helps to analyze the strategies followed over the long term, then to understand the operating logic and to evaluate the overall performance of the operation, to develop strategic axes for the years to come. This method was developed by teachers from agricultural high schools, as part of research-action work within the GAP – Animation and Professionalization Group – Economy-Management. The method is aimed at the community of teachers and any trainer or advisor who has to support farmers in strategies for sustainable agricultural systems.
