Résumé

The text documents the chronology of the deployment of professionalization policies within the French agricultural education system, bringing together a little more than 200 public establishments and nearly 600 private establishments. It offers an archeology of these policies, that is to say, the unveiling of the different periods of their deployment. The choice is to frame the analysis on the official and institutional speech that supports and drives these policies (legal texts, provisional plans and circulars, decrees). The analysis sheds lights on three distinct periods: a preparatory phase, the professionalization of the establishment and the professionalization of professors.
