Analyse multicritère des performances des agrisylvicultures en France
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: The MOCA and SAFARRI projects (2021–2025) aimed to characterize and elucidate the performance of 55 french silvo-arable agroforestry systems ranging from 5 to more than 50 years of age, based on interviews with agroforestry farmers and a multicriteria sustainability assessment using the DEXiAF© framework. Results showed that expected ecosystem services were generally achieved or even exceeded. However, only 49 % of farmers reported being satisfied with their agroforestry system. This dissatisfaction was primarily associated with economic benefits perceived as delayed and uncertain, as well as with costs, skill requirements, and labour demands that had often been underestimated at the design steps. The most sustainable systems combined strong environmental performance, territorial embeddedness, and integration into value chains, factors that appear to improve their economic viability. System maturity (>20–30 years) also appeared to be associated with the highest levels of sustainability of the agroforestry systems. These findings highlight the importance of long-term agroforestry advisory support that accompanies the agroforestry transition, integrates technical, economic, and value-chain dimensions, and anticipates the adaptations required to address future challenges.
