Résumé

In Ziguinchor (southern Senegal), agriculture practiced in urban farming areas is threatened by the effects of environmental change and demographic dynamics. However, this agriculture, as a strategic component of food resilience and socio-ecological transition, is attracting growing interest. This article uses observations and quantitative and qualitative surveys to study food resilience and the socio-ecological transition in order to highlight the political issues at stake in the face of environmental crises (pollution, salinity, acidification) in the city of Ziguinchor. The results reveal a weakening, or even degradation, of agricultural and natural spaces, reflecting a vulnerability linked in part to their appropriation by the city, and to the impoverishment of ecological systems. Secondly, specific nourishing, resilient and liveable spaces are endowed with a cultural or worship value that encourages their preservation. Finally, we can speak of an ecologisation of agricultural practices which induce a "rebound" or rather rebounds not really taken in charge by local authorities for the moment.
