Abstract: Abstract Innovation is exerting greater and greater pressure on the various sectors of the economy. With the developments of science and the rising standards of living, our societies are becoming both more productive and more exacting. They are constantly calling in question conditions of work and patterns of consumption. This means that our entrepreneurs must conform more and more closely to the Schumpeterian notion of an entrepreneur. The innovations of the present day are both technical and commercial; they concern the distribution of goods as much as their production. Moreover, they affect agriculture as well as industry. But because of the conditions peculiar to the agricultural sector, the new ideas have reached it at a later date, in original forms and with different repercussions on people’s lives and work.
