In trying to answer these questions and to light the way for decision makers as far as possible, it has become necessary to compare the many forms of farming found in each region or country of the world. But this comparison must not be seen through only by means of structural criteria made accessible to researchers through the statistical machinery. It must concern current processes, past and current trajectories as well as their methods of differentiation. It must be able to explain these evolutions and give them meaning. Finally, it must also concern their results as regards quantitative and qualitative production, the creation of wealth and income as well as the preservation or creation of jobs, and from the point of view of forms of ecosystem artificialization and their consequences....
