Le travail en agriculture: nouvelles demandes, nouveaux enjeux

Yvette Harff and Hugues Lamarche

Économie rurale, 1998, vol. 244

Abstract: Organization of labour in agriculture has known new trends for the last four or five years. These trends may impulse deep transformations in the running of farms and beyond this, in the characteristics which used to shape their identity. In the first part, we analyse the different economical, domestic and psychological reasons which explain the present needs for labor and its new features : flexibility and qualification. The second part is supported by a survey which we are conducting in Beauce and Brittany, in order to show the changes already observable at the level of the different devices supposed to answer these needs : adaptation of the existing devices (cuma, eta, replacement services) and new devices (employers groups, exchange circles). Observing these new practices confirms at the same time the still undeterminated character of the ongoing changes and the hypothesis of a deep rupture.
