Abstract
[fre] L'extension actuelle de la faim dans le monde est un fait aujourd'hui incontesté. La réaction des pouvoirs consiste à accentuer les aides au Tiers-Monde et les transferts de technologie. Mais il ne suffit pas de produire plus pour que les gens soient mieux nourris : les techniques agricoles avancées, lors même qu'elles accroissent la production dans certains pays du Tiers-Monde, y aggravent la faim en privant de nombreux paysans de leur travail et de tout contrôle sur les moyens de production. Le nécessaire accroissement des rendements agricoles dans les pays du Sud n'oblige pourtant pas à recourir aux intrants ni aux techniques importées : de nombreuses expériences l'attestent. Mais le refus par des pays du Sud d'importer notre technologie serait de nature à remettre profondément en cause le système d'échanges qui sous-tend l'économie du Nord et à obliger celle-ci à des transformations radicales. [eng] The present extention of World hunger is today beyond dispute. The reaction of the powers is to increase the aid and the technology transfer to the Thrid World. However, to improve the nutrition situation it is not enough to produce more : advanced farm techniques even though they increase production also aggravate hunger as they leave many farmers out of work and deprive them of every control of production means. The essential increase of returns in farm production in the Southern countries does not necessarily imply the use of foreign inputs and techniques as a great number of cases habe shown. However, if the Southern countries refuse our technology, the exchange system with the North would have to be seriously altered and imply drastic changes of our economy.
