Anticipatory approaches are increasingly used to guide decision-making on environmental issues. A number of these approaches, particularly in the field of anticipatory governance, promote the participation of users in anticipatory thinking. Various tools are already used for this purpose. Nevertheless, most of these tools focus on the present and t...
Si les approches participatives et inclusives ont été reconnues nécessaires pour impliquer les populations dans la gestion des ressources et des territoires, leur impact reste souvent faible dans la durée, que ce soit à l'échelle locale ou pour des territoires plus vastes. C'est à partir de ce constat qu'une équipe du Cirad a mis au point à la fin ...
Assessing benefits and limits of agroecological transitions in different contexts is of foremost importance to steer and manage agroecological transitions and to feed evidence-based advocacy. However, assessing agroecological transitions remains a methodological challenge. The objective of this research was to investigate to what extent existing mu...
Dans le contexte de l'agriculture tropicale, la faible adoption de nouvelles variétés proposée par la recherche agronomique interpelle la mise en oeuvre de programmes de sélection participative décentralisée (SPD). La fonctionnalité de ces derniers reste cependant peu documentée. Nous questionnons cette dernière en posant l'hypothèse qu'elle est re...
Objective: To explore communities' perspectives on the factors in the social food environment that influence dietary behaviours in African cities. Design: A qualitative study using participatory photography (Photovoice). Participants took and discussed photographs representing factors in the social food environment that influence their dietary beha...
Agricultural research is expected to foster agro-ecological transitions. For that purpose, methodologies of participative integrated assessment of new farming and cropping systems are requested. However, the territory level and the stakeholders' participation are often not sufficiently embraced. Based on the companion modeling approach, a group of ...
Although participatory and inclusive approaches have been recognised as necessary for involving local people in the management of resources and territories, their impact often remains limited in the long term, whether at the local level or for broader territories. Based on this observation, a CIRAD team developed a method in the late 1990s using a ...
The evolution of family farming cannot be analyzed only from the perspective of production. Since it is also a kinship unit, the family farm reveals social tensions that contribute to the migration of young people, especially for young women. This study presents an analysis of the factors that contribute to this migratory process, considering youth...
CONTEXT: In Guadeloupe, the use of a persistent pesticide (chlordecone) contaminated one third of the island's agricultural soils, causing a major environmental crisis. In the aftermath, banana farmers significantly changed their management practices to decrease their pesticide use. With the support of research, farmers have tested and adopted vari...
Aunque se ha reconocido que los enfoques participativos e integradores son necesarios para implicar a la población local en la gestión de los recursos y los territorios, su impacto suele ser escaso con el paso del tiempo, tanto a nivel local como en territorios más extensos. Teniendo esto en cuenta, a finales de los 90 un equipo del Cirad desarroll...
