French term

d’agriculture biologique, raisonnée et intégrée

French to English Tech/Engineering Agriculture CAP - EU farming grants
Oops - I thought 'agriculture raisonnée' was 'integrated farming' - so what then is 'agriculture intégrée' - or is it the same thing? Is there a distinction, or is it French overstatement?

Ainsi, en 15 ans, le nombre d’exploitations répertoriées au titre de ***(l’agriculture biologique ou raisonnée*** est passé de 396 en 1991 à plus de 17 000 exploitations aujourd’hui, représentant environ 735 000 hectares (surface totale d’agriculture biologique, raisonnée et intégrée). L’Andalousie étant une région traditionnellement agricole, c’est elle qui compte le plus d’exploitations agricoles dites « écologiques ».

Farming systems:

In the UK there are three main approaches adopted by farmers in their farming system. These are defined as organic, conventional and integrated. Organic farming represents around 4% of the farmed area and is based upon the concept of sustainability utilising the farm's own resources. Conventional farming adopts modern technology and utilises other inputs such as pesticides and artificial fertilisers while integrated farming makes the conventional approach sustainable. Most conventional farmers practice integrated farming.

integrated biological farming

Quelle différence entre Agriculture Raisonnée et Intégrée ?
Aucune : le vocable «Agriculture Raisonnée» est la traduction française du concept «Integrated Farming» (Agriculture Intégrée) des Anglo-Saxons. Ce concept insiste sur l’importance d’une approche globale de l’exploitation agricole, notamment pour une meilleure prise en compte de l’environnement. Le terme «raisonné» a été préféré à «intégré» afin de rendre la notion plus compréhensible par le grand public et acceptable par les agriculteurs (éviter la confusion avec l’intégration économique).

actually, it would probably be better to speak of integrated and biological farming systems (not the same)

intermediate and integrated organic farming

The difference being that 'raisonnée' is a step in conversion where some fertilisers may be used. It takes seven years minimum to obtain an organic label (not a conversion one)
