The Mediterranean region is expected to be a hotspot for climate change, making the resilience of farming systems a major challenge. Some studies have used quantitative models at the farm scale to analyze the resilience of farming systems but with little involvement of stakeholders. We used a participatory approach with local actors on the Saïs pla...
The Moroccan agricultural sector employs around 40% of the country's total working population. Since the early 1990s, there has been a striking increase in the proportion of female wage laborers. This article investigates the effect of the gendered composition of the agricultural wage labor force on horticultural farms. We draw on an original data ...
Le pilotage stratégique des exploitations agricoles implique de revisiter la lecture traditionnelle de la performance économique pour prendre en compte la multi-dimensionnalité des défis liés au changement global en agriculture. Le travail présenté propose un modèle élargi d'évaluation de la performance économique globale des exploitations agricole...

Cet article présente le nouveau cadre conceptuel d’évaluation de la durabilité de l’exploitation agricole développé dans la méthode IDEA v4. Il combine une approche évaluative basée sur les objectifs assignés à une agriculture durable et une évaluation des propriétés des systèmes agricoles durables. Il s’ancre dans le champ de la durabilité forte, ...
Les agronomes ont développé de très nombreuses méthodes de diagnostics pour répondre à des objectifs variés et qualifier les situations observées à différentes échelles et niveaux d'organisation (parcelle, exploitation agricole, territoire). La demande sociétale implique d'élargir les champs d'observation pour rendre compte de la durabilité de l'ag...

This study considers a quantitative approach for assessing the performance of Tunisian farming systems to face climate change. It is based on the resilience concept and the calculation, with a modelling chain, of three indicators: land stock, labour stock, and income flux. Two system states, “base” and “climate change”, and a time horizon of 2010–2...
Most tropical landscapes are mainly composed of dynamic mosaics involving multiple land uses. Different histories of land use management can lead to different successional paths. The aim of this study was to determine if there is a successional floristic gradient related to land use types and how these gradients change across three rural mosaics in...
