      abstract = {This article presents an analysis of risk management by  French cereal farmers Producers are subject to market and  production risks and to environmental restrictions. The  paper analyses cereal farmers’ strategies to manage risks  through marketing contracts and production decisions. Three  main categories of marketing contracts are adopted bearing  different risk levels: forward contracts, average price  contracts and spot contracts. A hundred wheat producers are  surveyed in SouthWest France. The quantitative analysis of  their contractual choices shows that risk perceptions and  the farmer’s level of education have an influence on  contractual choice while crop diversification is negatively  correlated with forward contracts. },
