Summary in the original language of the document
Les résultats montrent tout d’abord que la filière de produits dits « biologiques » se structure en deux organisations de producteurs qui se différencient, tant par le mode de certification choisie que par leur niveaux d’insertion dans les dispositifs institutionnels conventionnels. Dans les deux cas néanmoins, un frein important est l’absence de maîtrise d’indicateurs sur les conditions d’évaluation économique et financière des produits biologiques. Par ailleurs, trois freins majeurs sont mis en évidence par l’analyse technico-économique et agronomique des exploitations (i) l’absence de référentiels et d’appui technique adaptés aux conditions locales, (ii) la faiblesse et la dispersion concernant l’approvisionnement et l’accès aux intrants adaptés et enfin (iii) la faible productivité du travail. Une action collective de coordination impliquant les collectivités locales, les organisations de producteurs, les organismes techniques et la recherche est nécessaire.
Summary translation
Organic farming certification has certainly contributed to unifying organic production, particularly by reducing the number of private charters. However, this reduction should not be misleading. Organic agriculture cannot be reduced to just a label and includes other requirements related to ethics, agronomy and economic policy whose implementation contributes to the diversification of marketing organisations that selectively ensure the marketing of organic products. Furthermore, in the case of viticulture, organic producers have recently placed more emphasis on the taste quality of their wines that they have linked in various ways to the quality of the environment. This new link between taste and environment has added a new complexity to marketing organisations and has given impetus to the use of environmentally-friendly vine-growing practices that have become a resource for the development of wines that are strongly identified with a terroir. Therefore, an increasing number of quality wines make use of organic or biodynamic practices to make better wines that are more representative of the quality of their terroir, but that do not emphasize the corresponding certification in order to keep their quality message clear.
