This short and thought-provoking article, originally published in 1975 in the journal E?tudes Rurales, takes as its starting point a fundamental question: how is technical to enter into dialogue with agronomic knowledge. knowledge elaborated, appropriated, transmitted, disseminated or monopolized? To address this question, especially in relation to agriculture, the author defends two fundamental points: first, the consolidation of a technology of agriculture, understood as a human science dedicated to the technical facts of this field; second, he advocates the deepening of the dialogue between ethnologists and agronomists about the complexity and diversity of technical phenomena in agriculture. The technology of agriculture, conceived as equivalent to an ethnoscience of technical facts and as a field of encounter between agronomists and ethnologists, opens the way for traditional farming systems and their associated technical knowledge La technologie de l’agriculture. Terrain de rencontre entre agronomes et ethnologues.
