Gender matters in seed system assessments
Despite growing recognition of the importance of involving smallholder farmers in seed systems governance, gender remains a critical but overlooked dimension. Women’s seed practices are often misunderstood, underdocumented, and excluded from policy and research, leading to governance frameworks that fail to address their needs or even exacerbate inequalities. This calls for collecting gender-disaggregated data and developing more inclusive method…
Crop biocultural traits and diversity dynamics among Bassari farmers
Cultural and ecological dimensions of agriculture are often considered as contrasting in agricultural research. This is well reflected on approaches to variety evaluation and selection that privilege a narrow set of agronomic indicators that do not account for the complexity of farmer-crop interactions. In this work, we explore the concept of ‘crop biocultural traits’ to integrate the social and biological dimensions of crops and the entanglement…
Landraces and climate change
So many things have changed”
Drought-tolerant indigenous crops decline in the face of climate change
In south-eastern Senegal, Bassari farmers have historically cultivated and consumed a wide diversity of varieties of sorghum, fonio, and Bambara groundnut, most of which thrive in poor soils, are nutritious, and withstand drought. These crops are now on the verge of disappearance from the fields of the Bassari despite their potential fit in the predicted drier climate in the area. To understand why, we explore the intertwining between the local d…
The role of crop diversity in climate change adaptation
Crop Diversity Management
Beyond the observation of climatic variations and their impact on livelihoods, farmers' knowledge about climate change can help to understand how rural populations respond to environmental changes and what factors should be considered when planning rural adaptation. This study documents Sereer farmers' observations of local environmental changes in the Fatick region of Senegal and explores how the farmers use crop diversity to adapt to those chan…
