“…Il confirme ainsi que l'interaction entre conseiller et producteur est nécessaire pour mieux orienter le processus de décision du producteur, mais montre aussi que le profil du conseiller influe fortement sur l'intensité de cette interaction. Dans certaines situations, le conseiller peut se transformer en médiateur, dont le rôle s'avère nécessaire à la pérennité des groupes d'agriculteurs, comme le montrent King et al (2001) en Australie.…”

Revue bibliographique sur les recherches menées dans le monde sur le conseil en agriculture Résumé Le conseil en agriculture est présenté comme étant d'importance stratégique pour les agriculteurs. Il est un moteur essentiel du processus d'innovation en agriculture. Cependant les évolutions des contextes nationaux et mondiaux dans lesquels s'inscrivent les exploitations agricoles engendrent de profonds changements dans l'orientation des dispositifs de conseil, leur organisation et leurs méthodes d'intervention. Bien que le thème du conseil agricole ait fait l'objet d'une multitude d'articles de recherche au cours des dernières décennies, peu d'études dressent un panorama des apports et des débats dans la littérature scientifique. Ce travail, fondé sur une ample revue de la littérature, couvre une période de dix ans. Il vise à caractériser les grandes thématiques de recherche liées au conseil agricole, ainsi que les principales équipes impliquées dans ces travaux. Les débats en cours, ainsi que les disciplines, les méthodes, les objets et les postures de recherche sont analysés autour de quatre grands thèmes : i) l'environnement et les arrangements institutionnels nécessaires pour assurer le fonctionnement d'un système de conseil ; ii) les compétences mobilisées dans le cadre du conseil ; iii) les démarches, les méthodes, les outils et le contenu du conseil ; iv) l'évaluation et les impacts des systèmes de conseil. Cette synthèse offre une large vision des travaux de recherche conduits dans la sphère scientifique internationale, et permet de mieux positionner de futures recherches à mener dans le domaine du conseil agricole.

“…King et al (2001) illustrates how understanding the principles of different learning processes can aid in developing indicators to evaluate learning activities. For example, a useful action learning tool may be one that enhances the action learning processes by: (i) enabling discussion; (ii) allowing for repetitive cycles for continual evaluation and improvement; (iii) relating to the participants' context; (iv) being flexible and adaptable to participants' needs.…”

“…In the study by King et al (2001), the use of a rainfall simulator (RFS) as a participatory action learning tool is used to illustrate this. In their scenario, the RFS can be seen as the tool and the RFS field day as the process.…”

Abstract. A variety of indicators have been developed and applied by farmers and scientists for the northern cereal belt. A general overview is presented of 'What are we trying to monitor?' followed by some example concepts; erosion hazard, salinity hazard, nutrient balance, production efficiency and participatory learning. These examples illustrate the complexity of indicator application and their dependence on context, purpose and scale. Emphasis is given to providing a rationale for developing indicators that focus on 'soft' system status (e.g. behaviour) as well as 'hard' system status. The propositions put forward are that indicators need to be integrated with the development of improved management systems, and that land managers (and community) as a collective, are key to this process. Some frequently asked questions about indicator development and application are responded to. Some 'Indicators for Indicators' that we have found useful in aiding indicator development, particularly in participatory fora are presented.
