“…The environmental conditions in each municipality result from various factors related to their local history. Among the determining factors, the land status in the period that preceded and accompanied land consolidation (small land-owners in Saints, a majority of tenant farmers and sharecroppers at La Genétouze) is relevant; access to ownership, while concomitant with the consolidation period, resulted in a higher environmental impact (Kohler et al 2013). Social changes therefore have an amplifying effect.…”

“…A few managed to survive, and two became pioneers in organic dairy production, which restored healthy environmental conditions and fostered the settlement of young organic producers and the conversion of other farmers to organic production. The field interviews revealed a strong commitment to the local landscape and biodiversity (Kohler et al 2013). The land consolidation (Map 2) has had little impact on the nature of land ownership: smallholders predominate, creating favorable conditions for social cohesion, which, in turn, facilitates social control on environmental practices (Rosin and Campbell 2009).…”

International audienceAbstract Understanding farmers’ attitudes towards the environment is essential for the implementation of land managementpolicies. Since 2000 conservation policies in France, as in other countries, have introduced the concept of “multifunctional agriculture” whereby farmers are entrusted with responsibility for environmental and landscape conservation in a peasant tradition that the “Green Revolution” largely eradicated. To assess farmers’ and other inhabitants’ attitudes towards the conservation of nature, we conducted fieldwork for 3 years (2010–2013) in two French municipalities located in a bocage area (farmland with hedges and groves). Results confirm that farmers feel more connected to nature than other rural residents. However, their perception that nature should be under human control, “clean” and “tidy,” contradicts many aspects of conservation policies. Our results also highlight differences between organic and non-organic farmers, especially in the acceptance of protection policies, but their perception of nature is very similar. Local history and social dynamics specific to each municipality have a strong influence on their environmental conditions
