Abstract
[fre] L'étude des stratégies foncières des agriculteurs dans quatre régions où l'offre démographique de terres agricoles est élevée montre que ceux-ci adaptent leur demande d'agrandissement à l'offre et qu'on ne peut pas y parler de déprise foncière même si des facteurs de risques subsistent. La disponibilité en main-d'œuvre joue un rôle déterminant dans la demande foncière des agriculteurs. Le développement économique des exploitations passe la plupart du temps par la croissance foncière. Il existe un seuil de 70 ha au-delà duquel les exploitations tendent à ne plus s'agrandir : ainsi une plus grande disponibilité de terres n'entraîne pas le développement de systèmes de production extensifs mais donne plus de libertés aux agriculteurs dans leur recherche d'une combinaison optimale de leurs facteurs de production. [eng] The future of agriculture land : farmer's strategy for extension The study of the farmer's land strategy in four french areas where supply of land is high shows that farmers adjust their demand for extension to the supply. We cannot talk about fallow land development even if some factors of risk remain. The availability of labour is essential in the demand of land by farmers. The economic growth of farms requires the development of their area. There is a threshold of about 180 acres beyond which the farms do not increase : so, more supply of land does not result in the development of extensive farms but gives more liberty for the farmers in their research on optimal combination of their production factors.
