The role of the SUADs in Agricultural Devlopment - The aim of the SUADs : information, training, action towards all-round development is seen and experienced in different ways in the different departments : an idea of these differences can be obtained from the examples of the Var and the Ardèche departments. The structure : a SUAD, a CDDA and smaller units (CETA, GVA, CUMA) is adapted to the specific factors in each department and to each stage of the development process. The SUAD, which is close to the farm, is at the hub of activity and can thus play a decisive rôle in organisation and concertation.
