Abstract: [eng] Guy Faure, Mario Samper — Twenty years of economic opening : The compromised future of family agriculture in the North of Costa Rica The North of Costa Rica was colonised during the previous century, thus enabling the creation of vast extensive ranching and the installation of small producers. During the 60's and the 70's, national policies were favourable to family agriculture. Since the 80's however, the progressive withdrawal of the State and the liberalization of exchanges have profoundly modified the conditions of agricultural production. In the new context, family farms are resorting to diversified strategies to prevent risks or to draw profit from new opportunities. However the margins of action are narrowing and the future family agriculture is uncertain.
