Abstract: Over the last ten years in France, new forms of collective farming have emerged and seem to promote a life project associated with being a farmer. These forms of collective farming, which are still poorly documented, could promote more diversified systems, more complex, related to the diversity of actors involved in the farm. To understand the interactions between the collective organization and the combination of activities at farm scale, we developed a generic framework to analyze different organizational strategies and their comparison. Using a combination of data collected on 13 collective farms, we propose a generic conceptual framework based on the AGR (Agent-Group-Role) formalism. Its development into an analytical framework is applied to three contrasting case studies to illustrate the diversity of group organization forms and of the different issues they deal with, as well as the role of resource sharing in group structuring .
