What is family farming? How can it help meet the challenges confronting the world? How can it contribute to a sustainable and more equitable development? Not only is family farming the predominant form of agriculture around the world, especially so in developing countries, it is also the agriculture of the future. By declaring 2014 the “International Year of Family Farming,” the United Nations has placed this form of production at the center of debates on agricultural development. These debates are often reduced to two opposing positions. The first advocates the development of industrial or company agriculture, supposedly efficient because it follows industrial processes for market-oriented mass production. The second promotes the preservation of family farming with its close links between family and farm. The authors of this book wish to enrich the debates by helping overcome stereotypes ¬– which often manifest through the use of terms such as “small-scale farming, subsistence farming, peasant, etc.” Research work has emphatically demonstrated the great adaptability of family farming systems and their ability to meet the major challenges of tomorrow but it has also not overlooked their limitations. The authors explore the choices facing society and possible development trajectories at national and international levels, and the contribution that agriculture will have to make. They call for a recommitment of public policies in favor of family farming in developing countries and stress the importance of planning actions targeted at and tailored to the family character of agricultural models. But, above all, they highlight the need to overcome strictly sectoral rationales, by placing family farming at the core of a broader economic and social project. This book is the result of a collaborative effort led by CIRAD and encapsulates three decades of research on family farming. It will interest researchers, teachers and students, and all those involved in national and international efforts for the development of countries in the South. .

In contemporary times where farming models are challenged through deep transformations of agricultural organizations and markets, this books proposes a new visit of the diversity of family forms of production to explore their current transformations all over the world. By adopting a comprehensive perspective it allows bringing together several dimensions often studied separately: linkages with markets, territorial development, labour mobility through migrations and livelihood strategies, farms’ autonomy, and food security, as well as the many ways of collective action and the role of public policies. The book relies on 18 case studies in the five continents. All were driven with a single and original methodological framework, inspired by the Sustainable Rural Livelihoods. The SRL initial framework was reshaped and adapted to allow each author to fine-tune “what makes family”, to understand family labour adaptations to their environment, and to align them with territorial dynamics and public policies in each national situation. Co-written by a network of researchers, this book deepens scientific knowledge on family farming around the world, and at the same time it contributes to test and improve a methodological framework adapted to analyse and of observe rural dynamics. It is dedicated to researchers, teachers and students, agronomists, economists, geographers, sociologists and historians but also experts and practitioners in agricultural and rural development. More widely, NGOs and any citizen willing to understand the family farming’s issues in different social contexts, should also find interest in reading it.

À l'heure où le développement durable est désormais ancré dans de multiples sphères scientifiques, économiques et politiques, cet ouvrage interroge les spécificités avérées ou supposées de ce concept dans les petits espaces insulaires (PEI). Suite aux objectifs fixés lors du Sommet de la Terre de Rio (1992) renouvelés lors de la Conférence de Maurice (2005), les thèmes du tourisme durable, des ressources côtières et marines, de la biodiversité, de l'énergie et des changements climatiques en milieu insulaire s'inscrivent en effet parmi les préoccupations permanentes des gouvernements concernés et des organisations internationales. Loin de présenter un modèle générique ou une solution unique, cet ouvrage collectif analyse les possibilités de préserver ces espaces fragiles en fonction de leurs spécificités physiques, géographiques, politiques, socio-économiques, culturelles... Les entrées de l'ouvrage sont multiples, consacrées à des terrains et des problématiques variés et complémentaires. Des Açores à la Réunion, des Antilles aux Baléares, qu'elles soient riches ou pauvres, situées au Sud ou au Nord, indépendantes ou reliées à une lointaine métropole, les îles sont ici décrites dans toute leur variété, apportant des éléments concrets de réflexion sur les perspectives de mise en œuvre du développement durable dans les PEI.
