In France, the debate on the MF of activities concerns all forms of agricultural activities, including those closest to what is sometimes conventionally known as the productivist model. This situation differs from most other European Union (EU) countries where the concept of “multifunctionality” is mainly used to study forms of agricultural activities considered to be “heterodox” (pluriactivity, agro-tourism, diversification, etc.). This report presents an history of these researches and provides definition of several key notions of the debate (activity, pluriactivity, diversification, occupational status). Then it shows how the new regulation of the sector and the political reassertion of the need to take the multifunctionality of agricultural activities into account have encouraged further revision of research programmes and frameworks used in analysing activities. The report includes a 2 pages summary report, 6 sections (1. History and definitions, 2.Multifunctionality of farm activities and farm models, 3. Pluralities of identities, 4. Occupational status, support systems and new institutional arrangements, 5. New ways of analysing activities, 6.Available data for MFA analyses) and a bibliography of 167 references.
