International audience The public authorities and some agricultural actors wish to develop agroecology to meet the riseof new challenges (impacts of agricultural practices on natural resources in particular). New agriculturalwork systems are therefore being designed, and are raising questions about the inclusion of farmers’ work inthe agroecological transition. Our research-action endeavours to support the development of farmers’change management. To do so, we implement a reflective tool: the “chronicle of change”, which appears tobe an interesting way to initiate an “enabling intervention in change management” with farmers, and tobetter understand their work system.
