English. Cet article contribue aux recherches existantes sur la relation entre la pluriactivité des exploitations agricoles et le soutien public, en considérant la question à l’envers : la pluriactivitépermet-elle aux exploitants de capter le soutien public ? Notre hypothèse est qu’un degré de découplage plus important permet aux exploitations pluriactives de capter plus facilement les aides directes que cela ne le permet aux exploitations à plein temps. Pour la tester, nous comparons le système d’aides directes largement découplées en Suisse en 2004 et le systèmed’aides plus orienté sur la production en France en 2003. Les résultats montrent que la politique suisse favorise les exploitants pluriactifs, alors que les aides directes en France ont l’effet opposé.

This paper contributes to the research about the relationship between off-farm employment and public support, by taking the issue upside down: does off-farm employment give an advantage to farms regarding the level of public support? Our hypothesis is that a higher degree of decoupling enables part-time farms to capture more easily direct payments than full-time farms. To test this, we compare the largely decoupled direct payment system in Switzerland in 2004, and the rather production-oriented payment system in France in 2003. Results show that Switzerland’s policy favoured farmers with an off-farm employment, while the French direct payment system had the opposite effect.
