Abstract

National and regional level observations contradict many forecasts of a major agricultural decay. Results from a survey made in the « pays d'Auge », in Lower-Normandy, suggest that the diversity of production systems, their technical features and abilities of using bad lands, are linked to the share of agricultural income in total family income. A failure in understanding this mechanism partly explains the inability of intrasectorial analysis models to describe the relations between agricultural development and agricultural use of the territory. It seems, however, that the ability, for families straying from professionnal agriculture, to maintain or to undertake an agricultural activity and to use production systems laying on permanent pasture, is one of the reasons why bad lands are still in operation.
