Abstract: [fre] Comment repenser le rôle de l'agriculture en cette fin de siècle ? Pendant des millénaires, elle avait assuré la domination des hommes grâce à leur pouvoir de vie et de mort sur les espèces utiles. Depuis deux cents ans, les révolutions industrielles ont rendu le paysan plus riche mais l'ont écrasé entre ses fournisseurs et ses clients. Demain, l'encombrement des hommes, des esclaves animaux et des esclaves mécaniques menacera gravement le milieu naturel. Seul un calcul agronomique et économique différent devrait pouvoir éviter l'extinction du genre humain. [eng] At the end of the century, are fresch thinkings on the role of agriculture to be frought about ? For mille- niums, man hood domination has originated in its life and death power over species. Since about two hundred years, industrial revolutions have made peasants richer, but also crushed between customers and suppliers. To morrow, natural environment is likely to be threatened by men, as welle as mechanical or animal slaves congestion. Different modes of calculations in agronomy as well as in economics will be the only way for saving human hoodfrom disappearance.
