Résumé anglais Animal Husbandry Practices in Castagniccia : Exploring a Natural and Social Surrounding. The authors — agronomists — made a survey of current animal husbandry practices in the Castagniccia region of Corsica (maintenance, surveillance, land use, facilities...), all of which are chosen by the "stockmen" so as to develop some consistent combinations of practices which caracterize their own particular stock-breeding system. Six such practice-systems were identified, some of which ("browsing" systems) make a very extensive use of the shrubby and woody vegetation cover. Revealing both the particular economic process and the individual social standing of the stockmen, are such complex practices the remainders of grazing systems of the past or, on the contrary, are they genuine innovations of present stockmen aiming at adjusting their trade to the vacuum created by the departure of most of the local active population? The fate of Castagniccia's agriculture lies, partly, in the answer to that question.
