“…2), referred to as Leydi in the Halpulaar (or Peul) language, is characterized by the discontinuity between these two areas and by movements of people and herds between the two (for example, herds moving into the Waalo during the dry season). The river floods structure crop farming, grazing and fishing activities; flood-recession cropping in the Waalo is interwoven with transhumant agropastoralism in the Dieri and with fishing in the river and the semi-permanent pools (Le Roy 2008;Cesaro et al 2010;Garambois et al 2018).…”

“…As a result, most inputs are now synthetic fertilizers for growing a few genetically closely-related varieties. This has negative consequences for soil organic matter content and river pollution and makes families dependent on bank loans to buy inputs (Garambois et al 2018). In reaction to the 2008 food price crisis that deeply affected Sahel countries, the Programme d'Accélération de la Cadence de l'Agriculture Sénégalaise (PRACAS) was created in Senegal in 2010 to reach the goal of rice self-sufficiency by extending the area of irrigated rice monocultures.…”

Intensified rice production negatively impacts plant biodiversity, diet, lifestyle and quality of life: transdisciplinary and gendered research in the Middle Senegal River Valley

A major programme of irrigated rice extension in the Middle Senegal River Valley has further limited the river's natural flooding in the floodplain (Waalo), initially reduced by drought. We conducted a transdisciplinary (TD) and gendered study in the region to explore links between agricultural biodiversity and family diets using a social analysis of women's practices. The results showed how rice expansion impacts local agrobiodiversity, diet quality and the cultural way of life. Disappearance of the singular agropastoral and fishing system of the Senegal River Valley is profoundly modifying the landscape, limiting wooded riverine settings, and is undermining the traditional diversified flood-recession cropping system in the Waalo. This is causing an overconsumption of rice by reducing alternative food sources, such as sorghum, vegetables and animal products (fish, milk and meat). In particular, flood-recession sorghums are in danger of disappearing, yet they are more nutritious than rice and now sell for twice as much, or more. The way of life is being disrupted, notably sociabilities previously based on territorial complementarities, and women are disadvantaged in terms of recognition and added workload. Women's groups have launched collective irrigated gardens, organic or not, only supported by the local NGO, but any surplus is hardly ever sold on the weekly markets in the neighbourhood. Moreover, this diet imbalance increases nutritional risk factors for health, such as vitamin and iron deficiencies, especially for women, hypertension and diabetes. We argue that, firstly, gendered TD experiences are relevant for documenting women's activities in order for them to gain political support and, secondly, that targeting women's care tasks gives more value and impact to TD research results.

“…En ciblant de manière préférentielle les agents économiques a priori les plus solvables, ces interventions favorisent l'instauration d'une course inégale pour accéder à des terres potentiellement irrigables. Ceci peut exclure d'emblée certaines exploitations malgré leur efficience en termes de création de valeur ajoutée et d'emploi, et menace les réserves foncières et les ressources en eau nécessaires aux générations futures (Garambois et al, 2018).…”
