Résumé anglais A New Classification for French Farms. After acknowledging the increasing need for a classification of different farm types according to systems of production and taking into consideration technological and socio-economic structures, the author mentions the criteria and methods used in previous classificatory experiences and comments on their short-comings. He then discusses the kind of data necessary for a more objective and more scientific classification and explains the techniques used to analyze statistical information obtained on a sample of 6 000 farms. One of the tables accompanying this article gives the results of this classification, based on types of labor (part-time, full-time; family, hired) and principal forms of animal and/or plant production (cereals, green vegetables, dairy cattle, fowl, etc.). Several maps indicate the geographical distribution of another sample of 20 000 farms classified according to the 15 systems of production distinguished by the author.
