Le travail en élevage et ses mutations

Abstract: Pour les éleveurs, la diversité des tâches, la liberté d'agir à sa guise, la proximité avec la nature et les animaux expliquent l'attrait, souvent passionné, pour une profession en constante mutation suite aux évolutions techniques et sociologiques. Les gains d'efficience et de productivité sont rognés par l'augmentation de la taille des structures et la charge de travail reste toujours importante. Aujourd'hui les éleveurs cherchent un meilleur équilibre vie privée/vie professionnelle, à préserver leur santé e… Show more

“…In Europe, just 7.5% of farmers are under 35 years of age, while 30% are over 65 (Council of the European Union 2014). A major obstacle to ensuring continuity is the perceived lack of attractiveness of farming in general and livestock farming in particular, as a profession (Servière et al 2019b;Hostiou et al 2020). The working conditions of livestock farmers are even more challenging than those of crop farmers; livestock farmers are known to have long working days, are concerned with work-related health problems (Hostiou et al 2020), and must deal with the constraint posed by animals needing daily care and monitoring which cannot be postponed.…”

“…The working conditions of livestock farmers are even more challenging than those of crop farmers; livestock farmers are known to have long working days, are concerned with work-related health problems (Hostiou et al 2020), and must deal with the constraint posed by animals needing daily care and monitoring which cannot be postponed. Livestock farmers also have expressed the desire for working conditions that would enable them to achieve a better work-family balance and obtain greater financial rewards for their work (Servière et al 2019b).…”

“…Un domaine relativement peu exploré par la recherche et pourtant présent dans les débats d'acteurs est celui des interactions entre élevage, travail et territoire. Le terme travail étant assez large (emploi, organisation, conditions de travail, attractivité…), nous nous appuyons ici sur la synthèse proposée par Servière et al (2018) pour décliner plusieurs pistes de travail. La première porte sur « les réseaux professionnels, associatifs, familiaux ou de voisinage dans lesquels les agriculteurs trouvent une reconnaissance sociale et professionnelle ».…”

“…Livestock farmers' working conditions today are difficult, despite improvements made due to the mechanization of their work. Besides working conditions, an increased (administrative) workload, criticism from society on animal production systems or difficulties in maintaining the balance between professional and personal life are factors known to negatively influence farmers' health, welfare and/or quality of life at work today (Servière et al 2019a). Consequently, the difficult working conditions are leading to higher suicide rates amongst farmers compared to other professions (Khireddine-Medouni et al 2016;Midler et al 2019).…”

“…Consequently, the difficult working conditions are leading to higher suicide rates amongst farmers compared to other professions (Khireddine-Medouni et al 2016;Midler et al 2019). The stakes are high for creating more sustainable working conditions, as the livestock farming sector faces a loss of interest of people in becoming farmers, the renewal of generations of farmers is at stake (CEN 2019;Servière et al 2019a). More generally, today improving environmental, economic and social sustainability of livestock farming systems is one of the challenges the sector is facing.…”
