La Tunisie cherche à réorienter ses politiques d'Aménagement et de conservation des eaux et des sols (ACES) afin qu'elles gagnent en efficacité, en s'appuyant sur des démarches participatives innovantes. Cette orientation s'inscrit dans des contextes ruraux souvent peu documentés où la dimension environnementale nécessite d'être objectivée. De plus, il existe peu d'espaces de dialogue et de concertation entre les principales catégories d'acteurs des espaces ruraux concernés.
Fin des années 1990 : le Brésil adopte une politique agricole duale fondée sur l’appui à l’agrobusiness et à l’agriculture familiale. Dans ce contexte, l’un des principaux enjeux porte sur la définition d’un modèle agricole destiné à améliorer le soutien à une agriculture familiale longtemps niée par les politiques agricoles successives. Cet article participe à cette réflexion, toujours d’actualité, en discutant les difficultés d’accompagnement de la « modernisation » de ce type d’agriculture.
The aim of this paper is to propose an innovative operational framework that couples life cycle assessment (LCA) and a participatory approach to overcome these issues. The first step was to conduct a progressive participatory diagnosis of the socio-ecological structure of the rural territory and to characterise the main cropping systems. The results of the diagnosis and other data were progressively triangulated, validated and consolidated with the stakeholders at the territorial level. The paper discusses the quality and validity of data obtained using a participatory approach.
