Are we witnessing the emergence of a Farming Design? The exhibition Paysans designers presented at madd-bordeaux looks at these practices aimed at solving farmers' problems and streamlining their uses: feeding while regenerating soils and ecosystems rather than exploiting them, redefining food production methods, responding to the upheavals of biodiversity and climate... it shows a reinvented agriculture, committed to facing upheavals of biodiversity and climate, which no longer responds to a single model adaptable to all, but brings together singular, contextual practices, federated around the notion of peasant agroecology.

Engineers, designers, botanists, artists, farmers and poets are here questioning the invention of a new culture that places humans at the heart of unprecedented alliances with nature, and repositions them as one of the links in the life chain alongside living beings, plants and animals. A culture in which humans respect nature, and which confers a status to those who cultivate it, the farmer.
