Les sociétés d’agriculture en Valais

This lecture presents the role of agricultural societies in the transformation of agriculture in the Valais in the last quarter of the 19th century. At a time marked by an agricultural model of self-subsistence, these local or regional societies, led by a socio-economic elite, initiated a movement towards more capitalized commercial agriculture. They introduced new knowledge, practices and tools, working closely with the cantonal government to modernize agricultural production methods. This study focuses on how these companies theorized and implemented these transformations, helping to redefine agricultural production relationships in the region.
