Insécurité Alimentaire des Ménages Agricoles et Stratégies de Résilience au Sahel : Cas de la Vallée de Goulbi Maradi, Niger

Abstract

This paper focuses on highlighting the problem of food insecurity as well as the strategies adopted by farm households for resilience to shocks. It was carried out through documentary research, field visits, and socioeconomic surveys. In addition, this study allowed us to understand the determinants of household food insecurity in the municipality of Tibiri. These determinants are none other than natural and human factors. All the same, the level of the food coverage and especially the resilience strategies to bounce back to shocks has been determined. The results showed that 48% of households suffer from severe food insecurity, 43% are moderately food insecure, 7% are at risk, and only 2% are food secure. In view of all the above, it can be stated that in the face of this situation, several resilience strategies appear. They are born of the traditional knowledge of the peasants and allows a significant increase in the production to better rebirth the damages caused by the natural phenomena of the medium.
