摘要：

The European Union and the Indian Union have industrialised their agriculture and food since the 1960s. They are now realising that such a sociotechnical regime is unsustainable for the health of humans and ecosystems. They are calling for an "agroecological transition" which, in Europe, primarily means Organic Farming (OF). Yet organic farming is struggling due to lower yields and higher prices. In India, this model and others are also being tested. The Natural Farming (NF) programme in Andhra Pradesh is proving particularly promising. Our comparative approach presents the conditions for the emergence of the two alternative forms of agriculture (OF and NF), then shows why the true agroecological trait of Natural Farming makes it more performative in India due to its complete emancipation from the energy-intensive and jobless industrial regime of specialization in a few large-scale productions.
