Overview

The aim of the study is to analyze the various local strategies for resilience to food insecurity implemented in the rural commune of Baoudetta, located in the Tessaoua Department, Maradi Region. The methodology adopted for this work is based on documentary research, data collection in four surveyed villages, and data processing and analysis. Data collection methods included observation grids, quantitative and qualitative surveys. The main results reveal the evolution of land tenure through a fragmentation of crop land (1.19 ha per household on average), and land hoarding by the wealthy, accentuating the new ""landless"" peasant mode (3.6%). In agropastoral practice, the development of dry sowing, the evolution of cash crops for 47% of respondents, and the destocking of livestock are the changes most reported. Finally, the main resilient activities for diversifying sources of income and filling the food gap in households are IGAs practised by 51.8% of respondents (mostly women), migration, and so on.
