 Vers un autre modèle de développement agricole ?Économie rurale, 1981, vol. 146 Abstract: The model of farm development of the last thirty years has recently been questioned in the present context of economic crisis, increased energy prices, drop of farm incomes, increase of costs etc. Certain authors propose a reorientation of agriculture towards a more economical and self sufficient system with maximum biological added value. Others stress the necessity of amplifying the intensification process in order to increase competitivity, to develop exports and promote agricultural activity... The first part of our paper resumes the different elements of this question as endogenous factors drop in productivity of intermediate consomptions for example) or exogenous ones (consequences of the crisis...). A more precise aspect is then analysed more in detail by a simulation study : the impact of an increase in or a rationing of energy on certain types of farms. Finally, the conditions and possibilities of another more economical and more selfsufficient type of farming are examined. Technical innovation (biotechnology etc.) is not able to change alone the farm development model. What are the conditions, social implications and impacts of another type of agriculture and what should be its objects ?
