Peer-reviewed publication
Au Gabon, le rôle du maraîchage périurbain est essentiel à l'approvisionnement des villes en légumes frais, notamment à Libreville et Owendo. Lors d'une enquête menée dans trois périmètres maraîchers, un état des lieux a été réalisé sur les caractéristiques socio-économiques, la diversité des plantes cultivées et les pesticides utilisés. Les superficies exploitées vont de 0,08 ha à 0,4 ha par maraîcher selon les sites. Les exploitants interrogés sont à 51 % originaires du Gabon alors que 40 % sont originaires du Burkina Faso.

In this report, it is shown how drought and flood risks have changed over the past thirty years, and what impact this has had on rural livelihoods and food security in the country. The aim is to inform national-level prioritisation of areas and livelihoods groups for climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction programmes.

A terra, no que respeita ao regime jurídico, formas de acesso e ocupação, segurança de posse, tipos de utilização, investimento e planeamento do território, é um elemento estruturante que influencia o tipo de desenvolvimento a longo prazo.
Para além de permitir a principal fonte de subsistência nas zonas rurais (actividade agrícola), a terra constitui também um elemento sagrado que garante o encontro com os ancestrais e estrutura as relações sociais, sobretudo em sociedades maioritariamente rurais como as moçambicanas.

Zambia remains committed to the socio-economic development planning of the country as reflected by the return to development planning in 2005. The Seventh National Development Plan (7NDP) for the period 2017- 2021 is the successor to the Revised Sixth National Development Plan, 2013-2016 (R-SNDP) following its expiry in December 2016.
