Once the strands are attached to the wooden, they are stretched out. As the man at the very end pulls and turns his end the girl holding the wooden panel in the middle makes sure that the rope is kept straight and does not get tangled. This process, which is common for rope making generally uses three or four strands that are twisted into rope with a hand operated rope machine such as the one pictured. The photograph also shows two men at the very end with the plank, a girl holding the wooden panel and a man taking a break under the shade of a nearby tree.

![]() | La petite agriculture saint-lucienne et martiniquaise face aux défis de la modernisation Auteur(s) : Miatekela, Jean Auteurs secondaires : Antilles-Guyane Burac, Maurice Résumé : L’importance du rôle des petites agricultures dans les processus de sécurité alimentaire et de souveraineté alimentaire est de plus en plus reconnue. A Sainte-Lucie comme en Martinique, un certain nombre d’acteurs s’engagent officiellement pour une agriculture diversifiée s’appuyant sur les préceptes du développement durable. C’est en tenant compte de ce contexte qu’en partie l’idée de réaliser une étude sur la petite agriculture de Sainte-Lucie et de la Martinique a germé. Aussi, le présent travail se veut-il avant tout une contribution au diagnostic de la petite agriculture face à la modernisation des systèmes agricoles intensifs dans chacune de ces deux îles. Il s’agit de mettre à l’évidence les richesses et les insuffisances de cette petite agriculture, mais aussi les atouts et les contraintes de l’environnement. En grande partie elle prend appui sur le jardin créole, système agricole considéré par bien d’acteurs comme un fondement culturel et une base culturale. Dans chacune des deux îles, beaucoup de petits agriculteurs font de la biodiversité une composante primordiale de la gestion de leurs systèmes agricoles. Les enjeux visés ici portent sur la contribution d’une gestion optimale de cette biodiversité à la promotion des agrosystèmes paysans durables à différentes échelles spatio-temporelles. Dès lors, tout dépend des méthodes d’accompagnement des agriculteurs à mettre en œuvre. Va-t-on poursuivre avec des approches descendantes basées sur la logique de transfert ? Si non, le moment n’est-il pas venu de réunir les conditions pouvant permettre la mise en œuvre des véritables démarches de co-construction ? The important role of small farmers in the process in food security and of food sovereignty is increasingly recognized. In St. Lucia as in Martinique, a number of actors officially committed to a diverse agriculture based on the precepts of sustainable development. It is in the light on this context that partially, the idea of a study on small holder St Lucia and Martinique germinated. Also, the present work is first and foremost a contribution to the diagnosis of small-scale agriculture to modernization of the intensive agricultural systems in each of these two islands. It is put clearly the richness and the inadequacies of this small scale-agriculture, but also the advantages and constraints of the environment. In large part it builds on the creole garden, agricultural system considered by many actors as a cultural foundation and a base of farming practices. In each of the two islands, many small farmers make biodiversity an essential component of management of their farm systems. The stakes referred here relate to the optimal management contribution of biodiversity to promote sustainable peasant agro-ecosystems at different spatial and temporal scales. Therefore, everything depends on farmer coaching methods to set up. Will we continue with down approaches based on logic of transfer ? Otherwise, isn’t time to create the conditions that could allow the development of real co-construction steps ? http://www.theses.fr/2015AGUY0866/document | Partager |
![]() | Tourisme et lutte contre la pauvreté, l’expérience du sud andin rural au Pérou Auteur(s) : Arellano, Alexandra Éditeur(s) : Université des Antilles Études caribéennes Résumé : Tout en étant une des régions les plus pauvres du Pérou, le sud andin est la destination touristique nationale par excellence où se trouve le sanctuaire archéologique de Machu Picchu, un des sites du patrimoine mondial les plus prisés au monde. Le boom du développement touristique des années 1990 à rapidement transformé la région de Cuzco en une destination écotouristique et de tourisme culturel. Cette étude présente le développement du tourisme dans la région en général, ainsi que les effets sur quelques communautés spécifiques s’étant intégrées au système touristique international grâce au développement du chemin de l’inca, une randonnée de quatre jours servant de porte d’entrée à Machu Picchu. Les hommes des communautés paysannes des hauts plateaux andins avoisinant Ollantaytambo ont été sollicités pour transporter l’équipement nécessaire au service des randonneurs étrangers. Ces habitants représentaient une main d’œuvre accessible, abordable, voire exploitable, capable physiquement de transporter des poids lourds en haute altitude. Aujourd’hui, la Fédération des Porteurs Daniel Estrada est composée de 6200 porteurs provenant de différentes communautés de la vallée. Essentiellement quechuas, ces communautés rurales marginalisés survivent sur des terres arides ; leur niveau d’éducation ne dépasse souvent pas le primaire ; les villages ne disposent pas d’eau potable, de services d’égouts, d’électricité, de téléphone, d’accès à des services de santé ; les habitations sont faites d’adobe. Étant donné la vulnérabilité de ces populations, l’intégration à un système offrant de nouvelles possibilités de revenus s’avérait souhaitable, malgré les conditions d’emploi déplorables. While one of the poorest regions of Peru, the Andean south is a national tourist destination and the site of the archaeological sanctuary and one of the most popular sites in the world, Machu Picchu. The boom of tourism development in the 1990s quickly transformed the Cuzco region to an ecotourism and cultural tourism destination. This paper presents the development of tourism in the region in general, as well as the effects for some communities as they are integrated into the international tourism system through the development of the Inca Trail, a four-day hike which leads to Machu Picchu. Men in the peasant communities in the Andean highlands surrounding Ollantaytambo are asked to carry the equipment needed by foreign hikers during the ascent. These people represent an available and affordable workforce, physically capable of carrying heavy weight at high altitudes. Today, the Daniel Estrada Federation of Carriers is composed of 6200 carriers from different communities in the valley. Mainly Quechua, these marginalized rural populations survive in an arid environment; their education often does not exceed the primary level; the villages lack drinking water, sewage services, electricity, telephones, and access to health services; and the houses are made of adobe. Given the vulnerability of these populations, the integration of a system offering new revenue opportunities proved desirable, in spite of the deplorable employment conditions.

![]() | Alternatives agro-écologiques à l’usage d’intrants chimiques dans les bananeraies plantains : Le cas de deux régions de la Caraïbe : Guadeloupe et Haïti ; Agroecological alternatives to the use of chemical inputs in banana plantains : The case of Caribbean regions : Guadeloupe and Haïti Auteur(s) : Deloné, Brunise Auteurs secondaires : Antilles-Guyane Ozier-Lafontaine, Harry Quénéhervé, Patrick Résumé : La banane plantain (Musa paradisiaca) est l’aliment de base de millions de personnes dans le monde et sa culture génère des revenus permanents pour un grand nombre d’agriculteurs, dans des plantations de taille petite ou moyenne. Comme dans d’autres régions tropicales, la culture du plantain en Guadeloupe et en Haïti est soumise à de fortes contraintes parasitaires aussi bien telluriques (i.e. du sol : nématodes phytoparasites et charançon du bananier) qu’aériennes (Cercosporiose noire notamment). Les moyens de lutte conventionnels reposent sur l’usage de produits de synthèse dont les effets néfastes sur l’environnement (sols, eaux, animaux) comme sur la santé humaine ne sont plus supportables. Il est donc urgent de réfléchir à des solutions agro-écologiques permettant de rétablir les équilibres biologiques, de maintenir une bonne qualité des sols et une production optimale dans les systèmes de culture plantains. C’est le but de ce travail de thèse qui couple la réalisation d’un diagnostic agro-écologique dans des parcelles paysannes, et le test d’alternatives agro-écologiques en milieu semi-contrôlé. Pour ce faire, une typologie des systèmes de culture plantains a été réalisée à l’issue d’une enquête agro-environnementale dans les deux zones d’étude. Elle a permis de sélectionner 23 parcelles en Guadeloupe et 12 en Haïti dans lesquelles un diagnostic agro-écologique a été conduit. Sur la base de ce diagnostic et de la recherche d’alternatives agro-écologiques à l’usage des produits chimiques, une expérimentation au champ a été mise en place en Guadeloupe en station de recherche, permettant le test de trois pratiques culturales innovantes pour le plantain (seules et combinées), à savoir : i) l’introduction d’une plante de service Paspalum notatum pour la gestion des adventices et la réduction de l’utilisation d’herbicides ; ii) l’apport de vermicompost pour le contrôle des nématodes phytoparasites inféodés au bananier plantain et la fertilisation de celui-ci ; iii) l’utilisation de plants sains PIF (Plants Issus de Fragments de tiges) indemnes de nématodes et de larves de charançon du bananier. La typologie des systèmes de culture plantains révèle que : i) en Guadeloupe les précédents : jachère, ananas et banane plantain sont prédominants avec un niveau d’intensification faible (apports d’intrants chimiques faibles et peu fréquents) ou élevé (apports d’intrants chimiques élevés et plus fréquents) ; ii) en Haïti, les précédents : jachère, banane plantain et manioc prédominent avec un niveau d’intensification faible ou nul (apport d’intrants inexistant). Les résultats du diagnostic agro-écologique montrent que, i) lorsque le niveau d’intensification est faible, les bananeraies plantains pérennes et le précédent-ananas permettent de maintenir une bonne qualité du sol et une bonne régulation des parasites telluriques ; ii) lorsque le niveau d’intensification est fort, les populations d’ingénieurs du sol diminuent drastiquement, alors que le cortège parasitaire tellurique augmente sans que cela n’affecte l’obtention de bons niveaux de rendement instantannés (parcelles précédées d’ananas ou d’une jachère principalement) ; iii) en absence totale de fertilisation, il résulte une diminution de l’activité biologique du sol mais aussi du rendement du plantain, exacerbé par le choix des précédents-culturaux (manioc ou banane plantain) en lien avec les contraintes pédoclimatiques et la maladie des raies noires (Cercosporiose noire) causée par Mycosphaerella fijiensis, notamment au sein des parcelles Haïtiennes ; iv) la succession plantain/plantain est la plus pénalisante vis-à-vis de la culture du plantain, car quelque soit le niveau d’intensification, le rendement reste relativement faible, en lien avec une dégradation de l’état sanitaire, comparativement aux autres précédents. Plantain (Musa paradisiaca) is the staple food of millions of people worldwide and its cropping generates ongoing revenues for many farmers who are planting small or medium size areas. As in other tropical regions, plantain cultivation in Guadeloupe and Haiti is under heavy parasitic constraints terrestrial (plant-parasitic nematodes and banana weevil) as well as aerial (black Sigatoka in particular). Conventional means of control based on the use of synthetic products which adverse effects on the environment (soil, water, animals ...) as on human health are not bearable any more. It is thus urgent to think about agroecological solutions allowing to restore the biological balances, to maintain good soil quality and optimal plantain cropping systems.This is the ultimate goal of this thesis which couples the realization of an agroecological diagnosis in peasants’ plots, and the test of agroecological alternatives in semi-controlled conditions. To do this, a typology of plantain cropping systems was carried out from an agrienvironmental survey in the two study areas. It allowed to select 23 plots in Guadeloupe and 12 in Haiti in which an agroecological diagnosis was implemented. Based on this diagnosis and the research of agroecological alternatives to the use of chemicals, a field experiment was set up in Guadeloupe, in an experimental station allowing the test of three innovative practices for plantain cultivation (alone and combined), namely : i) the introduction of a cover-crop Paspalum notatum for weed control while reducing the use of herbicides ; ii) the input of worms’ compost to control plant-parasitic nematodes specific to plantain and to fertilize it ; iii) the use of healthy “PIF” plants (plants issued from stem fragments) free from telluric pests (nematodes and weevil’s larvaes).The typology of plantains cropping systems shows: i) in Guadeloupe the previous crops are: fallow pineapple and plantain predominate with a low level of intensification (low and infrequent chemical inputs) or high (high and frequent chemical inputs); ii) in Haiti, the previous crops are: fallow, plantain and cassava predominate with a low level or no intensification at all (no inputs). The results of the agroecological analysis show that : i) when the level of intensification is low, perennial plantain and pineapple as previous crops help maintaining a good soil quality and a good regulation of the telluric pests ; ii) when the level of intensification is strong, the soil engineers drastically reduce, while the density of telluric parasites increases without affecting good levels of instantaneous yields (plots where the previous crop is pineapple or mostly fallow) ; iii) when the fertilization is totally missing, it decreases the biological activity of the soil furthermore the plantain yields, exacerbated by the choice of the previous crop (cassava or plantain), in connection with soils and climate constraints and the black Sigatoka caused by Mycosphaerella fijiensis, especially in the Haitian plots ; iv) the crop succession plantain/plantain is the most critical regarding the plantain’s cropping, because whatever the level of intensification, the yields remain relatively low in connection with a degradation of the health state, compared to other previous crops.The driving of an experiment in a research station shows that on the scale of one year, the three tested innovative practices allow maintaining a good soils quality. Healthy plants "PIF" have a better health state (absence of plant parasitic nematodes in the roots) which helps a significant increase of the yields. Cover-crop P. notatum helps the weeds and the soil pests control and favors the improvement of soil biological activity and plantain yields. Worms’ compost contributes to the maintenance of a better soils quality while allowing the regulation of the populations of plant-parasitic nematodes of the plantains. http://www.theses.fr/2014AGUY0758/document | Partager |
