- The PHYTOBARRE process and the social representations of the agricultural community: preliminary impressions
The PHYTOBARRE process embodies technical innovation above all, but it also represents the potential medium for a more general discourse on the relationship between man and the environment. This sociological work focused on the agricultural world aims to understand the context of practices that concern phytopharmaceutical products at the local and national levels. Another aim is to reposition the PHYTOBARRE process with respect to social representations within the agricultural community.
