Abstract

ABSTRACT Sustainable agriculture and agroecology are now essential to the discussion on agricultural models in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Considering this new dimension as different intensities of ecosystem services use within farming practices, we propose identifying how these forms of agriculture take shape in the region’s rural areas. Family farms’ socio-economic organizations can explain the adoption conditions of agroecology in these regions, and its success or failure. From data collected in the Niayes region in Senegal, we develop a typology of farms with different levels of agroecology, from none to advanced adoption, based on a Factor Analysis on Mixed Data (FAMD). It allows for characterizing how these levels relate to farm income, labor types, and off-farm activities, among others. Our results confirm the existence of an association between agroecology/family farming and conventional/employer forms of agriculture, as suggested by our hypothesis. However, they bring to light contrasted models that nuance the common archetypes linking family farming with agroecology. Thus, better-off households employing wage workers display certain levels of agroecology, while the most conventional farms present a higher deficit risk. These findings provide a better understanding of agroecology’s development in dynamic rural contexts such as the Niayes.

描述塞内加尔尼亚耶斯的农业生态学实践:家庭农场农业模式的类型学
可持续农业和农业生态学现在对撒哈拉以南非洲(SSA)农业模式的讨论至关重要。考虑到农业实践中生态系统服务使用的不同强度,我们建议确定这些形式的农业如何在该地区的农村地区形成。家庭农场的社会经济组织可以解释这些地区采用生态农业的条件及其成败。根据在塞内加尔尼亚耶斯地区收集的数据,我们根据混合数据因子分析(FAMD),开发了具有不同农业生态水平的农场类型,从没有到先进采用。它可以描述这些水平与农场收入、劳动力类型和非农活动等之间的关系。我们的研究结果证实了生态农业/家庭农业与传统农业/雇主农业形式之间存在关联,正如我们的假设所建议的那样。然而,他们揭示了将家庭农业与农业生态学联系起来的共同原型的细微差别的对比模型。因此,雇用工资工人的富裕家庭表现出一定程度的农业生态学,而最传统的农场则存在更高的赤字风险。这些发现有助于更好地理解农业生态学在动态农村环境(如Niayes)中的发展。

期刊介绍: The International Journal of Sustainable Development and World Ecology is now over fifteen years old and has proved to be an exciting forum for understanding and advancing our knowledge and implementation of sustainable development. Sustainable development is now of primary importance as the key to future use and management of finite world resources. It recognises the need for development opportunities while maintaining a balance between these and the environment. As stated by the UN Bruntland Commission in 1987, sustainable development should "meet the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs."
