Les chocs climatiques exercent une pression sur les terres agricoles qui se manifeste par la surexploitation des terres et l’utilisation abusive d’intrants, ce qui accélère et aggrave leur dégradation (lessivage continu, érosion, transport des particules). La sécurisation foncière des communautés contribue au développement et à la promotion de l’agroécologie paysanne. Elle encourage l’investissement dans les terres agricoles (par des plantations d’arbres à des fins agroécologiques).

A África tem potencial na agricultura, com terras férteis não utilizadas. Na parte ocidental, com abundantes recursos naturais e humanos, a agricultura representa a riqueza e é um importante catalisador para alcançar segurança alimentar. Esta pesquisa analisou a vulnerabilidade e a segurança alimentar nas regiões dos países da União Econômica e Monetária da África Ocidental (UEMOA): Benin, Burkina Faso, Costa do Marfim, Guiné-Bissau, Mali, Níger, Senegal e Togo. Os períodos foram selecionados de acordo com a disponibilidade dos dados de cada país, de 2013 até 2018.

Studies on the enabling factors for household food security (HFS) most often used simplified econometric models looking into the links with a selected set of variables. In this research, a livelihood approach of HFS was used and aimed at determining the most significant livelihood assets for HFS in dryland agricultural systems. Elements of the five livelihood assets were assessed through questionnaire surveys with a random sample of 180 households, and six focus group discussions in three communities along the rural-urban continuum, in Southern Mali.

Ever since the oil, financial and food crises of 2008, sub-Saharan Africa has witnessed a marked increase in large-scale investment in agricultural land. The drivers of this investment are varied and include growing food, water and energy insecurity as well as social and economic interests of investors and recipient countries. The shape of these investments and their eventual outcomes are equally influenced by the existing land and water governance systems in the host countries.

Across vast areas of the world, human activity has degraded once fertile and productive land. Deforestation, overgrazing, continuous farming and poor irrigation practices have affected almost 2 billion hectares worldwide, threatening the health and livelihoods of over one billion people. In this edition of New Agriculturist, a collection of articles explores some of the approaches and policies that can help to successfully rehabilitate degraded land.

The development of irrigation is one of the priority strategies in the Sahel countries to tackle poverty and food insecurity. At a time when governments are once again committing to increase irrigable areas, it seemed relevant to analyze, in line with the ECOWAS guidelines, the results achieved in large irrigated schemes developed in the 1980s and 1990s to draw lessons for future developments.

Le développement de l’irrigation fait partie des stratégies prioritaires dans les pays du Sahel pour lutter contre la pauvreté et l’insécurité alimentaire. À l’heure où les gouvernements s’engagent, une fois de plus, à augmenter les superficies irrigables, il a semblé pertinent d’analyser, conformément aux lignes directrices de la CEDEAO, les résultats obtenus sur des grands périmètres aménagés dans les années 80 et 90 afin d’en tirer les leçons pour les aménagements futurs.

This study presents the results of field interviews with farmers, managers and the private sector from the Sélingué and Maninkoura (Mali) irrigation schemes to discuss how the current terms and conditions of the farming contract are implemented. These interviews focused on the functioning of the land management system as perceived by the stakeholders. The aim was to discuss the necessary and possible reforms of land tenure security which might allow a better development of smallholder farms.

Cette étude présente les résultats des enquêtes auprès des acteurs paysans, gestionnaires et acteurs privés des périmètres de Sélingué et Maninkoura (Mali) concernant les modalités d’application et la pertinence du cahier des charges actuel. Les entretiens portaient sur le système de gestion foncière et le développement des périmètres tels que les acteurs pouvaient le percevoir. Il s’agissait, avec l’ensemble des acteurs, de discuter des formes de sécurisation foncière, nécessaires et envisageables, qui pourraient permettre un meilleur développement des exploitations familiales.
