Characterization of 15 Farms in the Commune of Milot, the Case of the First Section Perches-de-Bonnet in 2015
- Farm households are 47.21 percent of the households of the commune of Milot.
- About a third of the harvest is used for self-consumption.
- 33 percent of the farms have non-farm activity, mainly forestry, so they cannot meet all household needs.
- The typology gives small, medium and large farms, with the market economy index higher in the piedmont and mountain for small farms.
- The author recommends that farmers consider all structural and functional parameters of their farms and that public and community bodies find the causes of farm problems by topographic zone.
The thesis builds a structural and functional typology of 15 farms in the first communal section of Milot, using literature review, data collection and analysis. It sorts them into small, medium and large farms by topographic zone (mountain, piedmont, plain) and compares their market economy and subsistence economy indices.
The abstract states that farm households are 47.21 percent of the households of the commune, that about a third of the harvest is used for self-consumption, and that 73.33 percent of farms have non-farm activity, mainly forestry, so that farms cannot meet all household needs. The author makes recommendations to farmers and to public and community bodies.
