About 2/3 of the total land area of the province (6998 km 2 ) is occupied by forest and wildlife reserves [25]. The climate of Kompienga is Sudanian, characterized by a longer dry season (October to April).…”

This research work aims to study the perceptions of pastoralists and agropastoralists on climate change impacts on mobile herding and the effectiveness of herders' adaptive strategies within Kompienga Province, south-eastern region of Burkina Faso. In order to achieve this aim, survey data were retrieved from 271 respondents and analysed. From respondents' perceptions, climate change is real and is negatively affecting forage availability (in quality and quantity); livestock production and reproduction performances; herders' practices, their livelihoods and the cohabitation of herding and crop farming. To overcome the increasing constraints the pastoral herding is facing, sound and urgent actions need to be undertaken by Burkina Faso government. These actions include: 1) providing the grazing reserves with necessary facilities such as perennial reservoirs; 2) conducting research to improve breeds that would adapt to current climatic conditions; 3) encouraging and supporting gradual shift of herders from mobile herding to the sedentary breeding; 4) supporting and organizing forage production by farmers. At short term an effective cross-border framework could be created to seek for sound solutions to secure the mobility of herds within ECOWAS territory.

“…The absence of fallow is due to the lack of suitable areas for cultivation [29]. Undeniably, the long fallow improves the physical, chemical and biological soil properties, but gain in production is low facing the extent of immobilized land.…”

Local initiatives of hardé soils rehabilitation in Maroua region have been analyzed. Fieldwork consisted of conducting observations and surveys beside farmers in two study sites, Mizileng and Zokok. Investigations on perception of land degradation signs by farmers show that appearance of encrusted surfaces and loss of vegetation cover are signs more expressed in both study sites. Causes expressed include acceleration of water and wind erosion processes, excessive falling of trees, inappropriate farming techniques and climatic hazards. The main consequences are declining of crop yields, lack of farming land and loss of natural pastures. Rehabilitation actions undertaken by local communities surveyed include earth dikes, tillage including cart or hoe ploughing, application of organic matter, integrating farming techniques such as fallowing, association and rotation of crop, and lastly, parking of animals on plots to be rehabilitated. Populations assert that their majority perceive signs of real change on planning plots in six months to three years. Constraints to those rehabilitation actions include material requirements that are mostly not available or accessible to farmers in the study area and access to land. Globally, there is no integration of local knowledge in the implementation of projects and consequences are localized and ephemeral efficiency, neither conclusive results. Implementation of an innovation in rural areas must take into account the factors of ownership and inscribe a well-defined trajectory. This trajectory must be dynamic and reflexive where local knowledge will cope with expert knowledge to ensure impact and sustainability of innovation.

“…Les pratiques communément rencontrées sont : les rotations culturales, le parcage rotatif direct des animaux, les apports d'engrais minéraux ou de fumure organique, la jachère avec ou sans culture pérenne et les associations de culture. Ces résultats corroborent ceux de Gomgnimbou et al (2010) chez les paysans de la province de Kompienga au Burkina Faso.…”

A good management of agricultural land based on scientific knowledge and farmer indigenuous knowledge is necessary to ensure sustainable agricultural production. Our research aims to evaluate the performance of farmers' strategies and improved soil fertility management practices in improving level of crop yields in the basin of the Okpara River European Scientific Journal November 2016 edition vol.12, No.33 ISSN: 1857 -7881 (Print) e -ISSN 1857 371 in Benin. Surveys using semi-structured questionnaire were conducted from October 11 to November 30, 2015 on a sample of 1048 farmers belonging to socio-cultural groups Tchabè, Mahi, Ditamari, Lokpa, Bariba and Fulani. Informations collected concerned farmers' soil fertility management practices and soil fertility improvement strategies introduced by the extension services. Crop rotation, long term natural fallow, fallow with perennial crops especially cashew trees, cassava "fallow" and cereal and leguminuous intercropping (respectively 91.11; 41.66; 48.53; 54.61 and 86.25% of respondents) are endogenous soil fertility management practices. However, mineral and organic fertilizers (respectively 25.45 and 20.38% of respondents) are improved soil fertility management practices introduced. Generally 42% of respondent mentioned that indigenuous soil fertility management practices could improve only by 25% crop (especially maize) yield level against 98.5% of respondents who mentioned that improved soil fertility management practices could improve by 50% of the crop yield level. Considering the efficiency of these soil fertility management practices our study suggests some issues to be taken into account for better land management in the study area.Keywords : Land restoration, indigenous knowledge, mineral fertilizers, organic fertilizers, cropping systems, farmer's rationality ResumeUne bonne gestion des terres agricoles basée sur les connaissances scientifiques et les savoirs paysans est indispensable pour assurer une production agricole durable. La présente recherche vise à évaluer la performance des stratégies paysannes et les pratiques améliorées de restauration de la fertilité des sols dans l'amélioration du niveau des rendements des cultures dans le bassin de la rivière Okpara au Bénin. Des enquêtes à l'aide d'un questionnaire semi structuré ont été conduites du 11 octobre au 30 novembre 2015 sur un échantillon de 1048 producteurs appartenant aux groupes socio-culturels Tchabè, Mahi, Ditamari, Lokpa, Bariba et Peulh. Les informations collectées ont porté essentiellement sur les pratiques paysannes de gestion de la fertilité des sols et celles introduites par les services d'encadrement. La rotation culturale, la jachère naturelle de longue durée, la jachère comportant les cultures pérennes en particulier l'anacardier, la jachère manioc et les associations culturales céréale et légumineuse respectivement par 91,11 ; 41,66 ; 48,53 ; 54,61 et 86,25 % des personnes enquêtées sont les principales stratégies endogènes de restauration de la fertilité des sols.
