Déterminants des aptitudes à l'éco-innovation des pisciculteurs: Exemples de la France et du Brésil

Abstract

This article discusses the factors that determine the aptitude of fish farmers to innovate when faced with the new challenges of ecological intensification. Such intensification implies significant changes in practices together with new knowledge requirements, particularly in agro-ecology. Fish farmers have to evolve towards an eco-aquaculturist profile. Surveys of 133 French and Brazilian fish farmers provide a typology of their aptitude to eco-innovate enabling three profiles to be identified.
