Préparation au VIIe Plan: Le problème foncier dans le VIIe Plan
Get PDFThe financing of land purchases is the kind of problem that arises with every generation. But it may become particulary acute in the years to come for, on the one hand, farms are growing larger and, on the other, the price of land is increasing. The priority financing of land may well therefore jeopardize modernization and hence the productivity progress of part of French agriculture
Economie des entreprises: Combinaison optimale ente la terre et l'eau pour le développement de la production laitière en zone méditérranéenne
Get PDFFodder models for dairy production in an irrigated area in Algeria are defined following the results of experiments from 1967 to 1975. The efficiency of the water varies according to the irrigation seasons ; the solutions are adapted to the land and water available; forms of complementarity between dry and irrigated zones are defined. The consequences for the organization of animal production, the relationship between irrigation and the formation of the producers determine these choices
Démographie, structures: Fiscalité et évolution des structures agricoles
Get PDFUntil the early 1960's farm taxation was fully adapted to small-scale production methods and encouraged this method of production in farming. But recent tax reforms (especially VAT and taxation on real profits) have strongly encouraged part of farming to move towards industrial production methods. Present tax policy does not seem likely to foster a revival of small-scale « family » farming with « personal responsibility ». How can a new tax policy be worked out to achieve this end
Environnement, écologie: Nouvelle source d'information, la télédétection pour l'occupation de l'espace, l'eau et l'environnement
No full textTélédétection, a means of observing space on earth from the distance, has its own limits and advantages. An experiment carried out from the air in 1974-1975 in the department of the Bouches du Rhône and progress in space technology have led to the development of estimation and management methods (space use, water, ressources, environnement and nuisances) by télédétection being made part of an interministerial framework for the period 1976-1980
Environnement, écologie: Bases écologiques à un plan du paysage du Jura bernois, Suisse
Get PDFA master plan has been drawn up based on 3 ecological maps : potential water pollution, the priority function of forests, natural vocation of farm areas. This information enables human activities to be organized without harming the natural conditions of the environment. The plan has already provided criteria for political development options
Economie des entreprises: La gestion des coopératives appréciées par la méthode du surplus
Get PDFA previous study showed that the traditional criteria for measuring efficiency are not adapted to an evaluation of cooperative management. The method of surpluses enabling the efficiency of the central unit and its influence on the peripheral units to be evaluated seems to be able to throw a new and more coherent light on cooperative management
Développement agricole: Vitalité sociale et création d'emplois en milieu rural
Get PDFThe research carried out at Vauvillers (Haute-Saône) under the direction of Pierre Boisseau for the Chambre d'Agriculture and the Chambre des Métiers of the Haute-Saône is intented to discover the needs of a small region, estimating the present means available on the spot, to analyse and bring together the internal elements of the development of a local community
Les structures spatiales de la collecte céréalière dans la région Centre
Get PDFThe « Centre » Programme Region is the main grain-producing region in France both as regards the area it covers and as regards the volume and range of its production. In addition to the traditional grain centres (Beauce, and the Berry part of Champagne) grain production has spread towards regions originally specializing in mixed farming. The collecting structures were analysed from the data provided by the ONIC and by the General Agricultural Census. A simple cartographic method was used which has the advantage, by schematizing, of bringing out the main features of the spatial collecting structures. This survey shows up : the preponderant role of the cooperative sector, the insignificance of utilizers as collectors (except for the malt-houses) and the survival of the middle-men, either in the traditional grain centres for the biggest of them or in the marginal centres for the smallest. In space the activities of these bodies overlap and give grain-collecting a complexity that is all the greater where grain production is highest. The results of the past five years reflects a generally slow evolution which, when it exists, takes place at the expense of private grain merchants to the advantage of cooperatives. The first examples of grain-collectors representing multinational, often foreign, firms that so far are of no significance, may well in the future bring about a restructuring of the collecting areas still characterized in the main by their anarchical nature
