L’agriculture française fait l’objet de critiques du fait des pressions qu’elle exerce sur les ressources naturelles, des transformations qu’elle opère sur les paysages et de la qualité parfois contestée de ses productions. Face aux attentes sociales et aux pressions réglementaires, des agriculteurs ont choisi de s’organiser en réseau pour proposer des pratiques agricoles alternatives. Une véritable dynamique est en œuvre chez ces agriculteurs minoritaires qui cherchent à diffuser leurs expériences en créant de nouveaux liens au sein de la population agricole.
