Une étude de terrain portant sur les effets de l’application du second pilier de la PAC en France révèle un lien étroit entre de nouvelles formes juridiques d’exploitation et l’évolution du statut des femmes dans la profession agricole. En effet, après n’avoir longtemps été que des « épouses d’agriculteurs », celles-ci sont devenues « agricultrices » à part entière. L’analyse des entretiens réalisés dans six territoires ruraux représentatifs des enjeux nationaux montre que le développement de ces exploitations sociétaires (GAEC, EARL, CUMA) donne davantage de visibilité au travail féminin.

Providing food and other products to a growing human population while safeguarding natural ecosystems and the provision of their services is a significant scientific, social and political challenge. With food demand likely to double over the next four decades, anthropization is already driving climate change and is the principal force behind species extinction, among other environmental impacts. The sustainable intensification of production on current agricultural lands has been suggested as a key solution to the competition for land between agriculture and natural ecosystems.
