Abstract
Do the upheavals families go through have any repercussions on rural law? Does rural law still defend the family farms model?This article attempts to answer these two questions by examining family farming from two viewpoints – as the object and objective of rural law.Rural law does not take new styles of conjugal life into account, both in terms of the laws which regulate this activity and the inheritance of property – a change in legislation thus seems inevitable.The defence of family-style farming is no longer one of the main objectives of rural law, and a certain number of lessons can be learned by the rural legislator, such as the creation of a rural fund, and a legal recognition of the economic value of certain rights.
