Controverses sur l’efficacité économique des agricultures familiales : indicateurs pour une comparaison rigoureuse avec d’autres agricultures

Abstract

Although acknowledging the different virtues of family farming is relatively widespread, in particular in the context of the international year of family farming, it is still problematic to compare its economic efficiency with that of large agricultural firms, which are broadly favored in many countries. The criteria which are most frequently used are hardly comparable and lead to a dialog of the deaf rather than to a rigorous comparison. However, by focusing on the fundamental indicators that are value added, factor productivity, and the distribution of value added, a rigorous comparison can be achieved. This allows avoiding the temptation to evaluate family farming solely on criteria based on its social and environmental performance.
