Rooted in culture, constrained by means: Exploring crops and associated motivations among Masikoro and Antandroy farmers in Southwestern Madagascar
Crop diversity trends captured by Indigenous and local knowledge: Introduction to the Symposium
Diversité des points de vue face à l’empreinte carbone de la recherche en partenariat avec les Suds
Le secteur de la recherche est responsable d’émissions de gaz à effet de serre, avec en France des variations entre les disciplines, laboratoires et individus, au-delà d’un apparent consensus sur le changement climatique et les transformations des pratiques qu’il requiert. Dans la recherche en partenariat avec les Suds, les déplacements – notamment le transport aérien – représentent un poste majeur d’émissions de gaz à effet de serre. Pour explor…
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…
The impact of agricultural policies on agrobiodiversity management in a pre-Rif farming system in Morocco: What Implications for Resilience
Agrobiodiversity is widely recognized as essential for smallholder agriculture, particularly for enhancing resilience to disruptions which are increasingly frequent and intense. However, whether agricultural policies support or hinder agrobiodiversity in these systems remains debated. A deeper understanding of how policies intersect with other change drivers and local practices is crucial to improving decision-making. Using a case study from nort…
Landraces and climate change: Global Trends Through the Lens of Political Agroecology
Modes de gestion de la diversité cultivée par les paysans dans le bassin arachidier au Sénégal: La coexistence comme nouvelle normalité
Les systèmes semenciers paysans jouent un rôle crucial dans l’accès aux semences en Afrique de l’Ouest. Cependant, les Etats et les bailleurs de développement visent à structurer ces systèmes semenciers, notamment via l’expansion des coopératives semencières et la commercialisation de semences certifiées de variétés homologuées. Néanmoins, le décalage de ces cadres normatifs avec la réalité et les spécificités de l’agriculture familiale suscite d…
Untangling Biocultural and Socioeconomical Drivers of African Plum Tree (Dacryodes edulis) Local Nomenclature Along a Rural-Urban Gradient in Central Cameroon
In Cameroon, the African plum tree ( Dacryodes edulis [G. Don] H. J. Lam) is widely cultivated for its fruits, which contribute significantly to household food security and economy. In order to analyze the links between the social and ecological systems that result in the remarkable fruit diversity, we focused on how the important varietal diversity of African plums was perceived and named by tree owners. We conducted semi‐structured interviews i…
So many things have changed”: Situated understandings of climate change impacts among the Bassari, south-eastern Senegal
Drought-tolerant indigenous crops decline in the face of climate change: A political agroecology account from south-eastern Senegal
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…
Semi-Domesticated Crops Have Unique Functional Roles in Agroecosystems: Perennial Beans ( Phaseolus dumosus and P. coccineus ) and Landscape Ethnoecology in the Colombian Andes
Semi-domesticated plants are good resources for agroecology, because they can survive without human intervention and can be managed together with non-domesticated plants. To explore the ecological know-how underlying farmer management of semi-domesticates at the landscape level, we compared how Yanacona Indigenous People in the southwestern Colombian Andes manage two semi-domesticated species of Phaseolus beans, both locally named cacha (Phaseolu…
Local Knowledge of the Interactions between Agrobiodiversity and Soil: A Fertile Substrate for Adapting to Changes in the Soil in Madagascar
In the tropics, the reduction in fallow periods in shifting rice cultivation and deforestation have led to soil degradation. How crop diversity is managed by farmers to adapt to this change remains poorly studied. Our study in Madagascar focuses on the management of 38 species in agroforestry, a practice that was gradually adopted by Betsimisaraka farmers to replace shifting rice cultivation. We describe how farmers perceived changes in the soil …
Exploring farmers' agrobiodiversity management practices and knowledge in clove agroforests of Madagascar
Interactions between farmers and agrobiodiversity are key drivers of agroecosystems sustainability and of the resilience of such systems to perturbations, but research into the human/nature interactions have overlooked some important aspects of agrobiodiversity management. In particular, farmers' ecological knowledge of the spatial organisation of plant diversity remains an open question, although knowledge and practices have major implications f…
The role of crop diversity in climate change adaptation: Insights from local observations to inform decision making in agriculture
Crop Diversity Management: Sereer Smallholders' Response to Climatic Variability in Senegal
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…
A collaborative approach to bring insights from local observations of climate change impacts into global climate change research
Collective action in Localized Agrifood Systems: An analysis by the social networks and the proximities. Study of a Serrano cheese producers' association in the Campos de Cima da Serra/Brazil
So Close Yet So Different: Cultural Differences Among Farmers in Central Kenya Affect Their Knowledge of Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor [L.] Moench) Landrace Identification
