dc.description.abstractThe Congo Basin represents 70 percent of the African continent's forest cover and constitutes a large portion of Africa's biodiversity. Agricultural development is a central lever to help people out of poverty, as well as a key driver of deforestation. Forest-friendly agricultural development is a challenge for the region. This report describes some ways forest-friendly agricultural development can materialize in the Congo Basin. It is one of a series of reports prepared during a two-year attempt to analyze and better understand deforestation dynamics in the Basin. The report presents findings related to the agricultural sector in the Congo Basin and its potential impact on forest cover. It is based on an in-depth analysis of the sector, from previous trends through future prospects. It builds on results derived from a modeling exercise conducted by the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) that scrutinized national, regional, and international trends in agricultural sectors and trade, and their impacts on Congo Basin forests. The structure of the report is as follows: chapter one gives an overview of the agricultural sector in the six countries, including an analysis of the sector's impact so far on forest cover; chapter two describes the prospects for development of agriculture in the near future and the potential impacts on forest under a business-as usual scenario; and chapter three identifies potential key levers in agricultural policy that can enable forest-friendly agriculture.en
dc.description.abstractL’agriculture est un secteur vital mais largement négligé dans le bassin du Congo. Le potentiel de développement agricole est pourtant considérable. Le développement agricole est un levier essentiel pour aider les personnes à sortir de la pauvreté mais un développement agricole respectueux des forêts est un défi pour la région. Le présent rapport expose certaines voies qu’un développement agricole respectueux des forêts pourrait emprunter dans le bassin du Congo. Il fait partie d’une série de rapports élaborés au cours des deux années consacrées à l’analyse et à la compréhension de la dynamique de la déforestation dans le bassin. Il présente les résultats relatifs au secteur agricole dans le bassin du Congo et à son impact potentiel sur la couverture forestière ; il s’appuie sur les résultats d’un exercice de modélisation réalisé par l’Institut international pour l’analyse des systèmes appliqués (IIASA) qui a minutieusement examiné les tendances nationales, régionales et internationales des secteurs de l’agriculture et du commerce, ainsi que leurs impacts sur les forêts du bassin du Congo. Le rapport est structuré de la manière suivante : Le Chapitre 1 donne une vue d’ensemble du secteur agricole dans les six pays, notamment une analyse à ce jour de l’impact du secteur sur la couverture forestière. Le Chapitre 2 décrit les perspectives de développement de l’agriculture dans un proche avenir et les impacts potentiels sur les forêts, dans le cadre d’un scénario de maintien du statu quo. Le Chapitre 3 identifie les leviers clés potentiels d’une politique agricole rendant possible une agriculture respectueuse des forêts. Ce chapitre s’appuie sur l’analyse des précédents chapitres et recommande des actions prioritaires que les pays du bassin pourraient entreprendre pour s’attaquer aux facteurs actuels et futurs de la déforestation.fr
