A major revolution has been taking place in France since the end of the Second World War: that of agriculture and rural life. By moving from a subsistence economy to a production economy, French agriculture, whose end is constantly predicted, has in fact just undergone a radical and unprecedented change. Through its economic and technical transformation, it has also changed our relationship with food, the environment and, more profoundly, our ancestral relationship with the land. To understand the workings of this change, the series "Les paysans" covers 60 years of rural history told through family memories. Testimonies from farmers across three generations, supported by personal and institutional archives. But also direct witnesses of this history like Edgard Pisani, François Guillaume, José Bové, Michel Teyssedou, Jean Huillet… And the sharp eye of historians and rural sociologists. First of all, it is the earthquake of the post-Second World War, the one that the peasants experienced when the Fatherland ordered them to feed the Nation starving due to shortages. While their actions had not changed since the dawn of time, they had to, with the help of the Marshall Plan and phytosanitary products, mechanize their practices, enlarge their plots, artificially stimulate their land.
