How to influence the trajectory of organic agriculture's development when you are not in the driver's seat? The case of the French National Federation of Organic Farming
Résumé
This article describes the actions taken by the
National Federation of Organic Farming (FNAB) to try to
influence the course of organic agriculture's development
in France. This federation wields the strength that accrues
from its network of regional associations, but has no direct
control over the economic actions of farmers and enterprises
in the organic sector. It is trying to influence these actions
in three different ways. First, it is drawing up a normative
framework, a stabilised discourse about the risks that are
linked to the current strong growth of the market and about
the economic model and values that it wants to defend in
this context. Second, the FNAB tries to affect the ways that
the food supply chains are organised by promoting certain
production and trade organisation schemes. Third, the
FNAB produces information and references to help farmers
and economic operators get their market bearings
