The growing strength of the MODEF (Mouvement de Défense des Exploitants Familiaux: Union of small independent agriculturists) in Vaucluse has been analysed in the light of the number of votes recorded in favour of this Union in the election to the Chamber of Commerce. Between 1960 and 1976 there were held three elections of representatives of independent agriculturists. The MODEF made steady progress at the expense of the F.D.S.E.A. (Fédération Départementale des Syndicats d'Exploitants Agricoles) : in 1976, the two Unions were nearly equal in strength. This result, achieved by the MODEF in a technically advanced area, sheds new light on this Union and on the farming community. Several factors account for the success of the MODEF : a high percentage of small farmers, their opposition to the Government's policy and their political commitments, rural mental habits, the structure and dynamism of this Union. In the last analysis, it is most strongly entrenched in the vine-growing villages of Vaucluse, in the Côtes-du-Rhône area in particular. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
