Mobilizing Farmers' Knowledge of the Soil
Chapter 18 Mobilizing Farmers' Knowledge of the Soil Domoina J. Rakotoson, Lovatiana A. Rakotonirina, and Georges Serpantie One way in which a culture can be read is through the way its people control their material environment, and through the knowledge that accompanies it. Such knowledge is part and parcel of social representations, which are ways of imagining daily life and the world, as developed, shared and transmitted within a community. They set up a consensual reality, and orientate the behaviour of a group, with the view of controlling the social, material, and ideological environment (Levy and Lussault 2003). In rural communities, control and use of land is one arena where "local" or "indigenous" knowledge is one of the main determinants. We will focus on such "local land knowledge". While there is a purely anthropological interest in these folk representations and classifications (Friedberg 1992; Holman 2005), there is also a practical interest in how this rural knowledge interfaces with the external stakeholders' ideas that are often derived from popularized scientific knowledge. In every project concerning rural areas, indigenous knowledge (particularly among the farmers) must be recognized and taken into account in order to bring about consensus between various stakeholders on actions to be carried out (Dupre 1991; Roose, 1994). An example from Madagascar will show how the mobilization of rural knowledge about the soil, and close observations of cultivated soils and indigenous agricultural practices, are particularly important components of projects aimed at achieving sustainable agriculture. Separated with South-East Africa by the Mozambique Channel, Madagascar is the fourth largest island in the world, and contains a wide variety of landscapes and ecosystems. -

The State of Lemur Conservation in South-Eastern Madagascar
Oryx Vol 39 No 2 April 2005 The state of lemur conservation in south-eastern Madagascar: population and habitat assessments for diurnal and cathemeral lemurs using surveys, satellite imagery and GIS Mitchell T.

2.4 Madagascar Railway Assessment
2.4 Madagascar Railway Assessment - The Northern railway, managed by a private company Madarail (Madagascar Railway) for the network connecting Antananarivo with Tamatave, Ambatondrazaka and Antsirabe. There is a regular (at least daily) goods traffic between the port city of Toamasina and the capital city of Antananarivo for cargo while passenger trains are only serving Tamatave to Moramanga and Moramanga to Ambatrodrazaka lines. Very occasionally there are special chartered trips on restored Micheline railcars for tourists. - The Southern railway, managed by a public company FCE (Fianarantsoa Cote Est) for the south eastern network connecting Fianarantsoa to Manakara. Page 1 The southern line has regular passenger and cargo trains, which provides a slow but picturesque alternative to the recently rehabilitated road in the region. For more information on railway company contact details, please see the following link: Madagascar Railway Assessment Railway Companies and Consortia 4.2.7 Madagascar Railway Company Contact List Northern railway*: *During our study, Madarail was in the midst of restructuring, therefore, they did not want to share information, statistics or even contacts. All the information gathered and shared in this document comes exclusively from third parties or from data found on the internet. Madarail, was founded on October 10, 2002 following the decision of the Malagasy State to privatize the Malagasy National Railway Network1 (RNCFM). A concession agreement for the management of the North network is then established between the new private operator and the State. Madarail began operating the Northern railway network in Madagascar on 1 July 2003. In 2008, the Belgian operator Vecturis, already active in eight other African countries, became the majority shareholder of the company and the new railway operator. -

PENTECOSTÉS EN MANAMPATRANA Después del ciclón Gretelle (Madagascar) Se recordará el terrible ciclón que se abatió el 24 de enero de 1997 sobre la región de Farafangana, al sudeste de Madagascar (cf. Nuntia, enero 1997, n° 4), donde nuestros cohermanos tienen una misión importante. El ciclón sembró la destrucción y el hambre. El siguiente artículo, publicado en “Missione Vincenziana” (julio-agosto 1998, p. 5), muestra que algo magnífico e inesperado ha surgido de aquello. De un mal, Dios sabe sacar un bien. Luigi Elli, C.M. Visitador de Madagascar Escribo desde Farafangana, la pequeña ciudad de la costa este que a finales del mes de enero de 1997 fue prácticamente destruida por el ciclón Gretelle. Lentamente, la vida ha recobrado sus derechos. -

II. Situation Overview
United Nations Nations Unies Office of the Resident Coordinator Madagascar • Cyclone Giovanna, Irina and Floods Situation Report # 8 – 22 March 2012 I. HIGHLIGHTS/KEY PRIORITIES The combined effects of tropical cyclones Giovanna, Irina and recent heavy rains in the south-east Madagascar left 112 people dead and 133 injured. The Education, shelter and food security have been identified as priorities sectors in the five affected districts where an estimated 614 classrooms have been partially damaged and 1,408 other destroyed; between 35 and 80 per cent of the agricultural production has been damaged; and around 30,000 people in the eastern coast are likely to be food insecure until the next harvest period in May. The majority of the IDPs hosted in the shelters have returned home and roads are again opened to traffic. However, long term rehabilitation is required in many national roads. Resurgence of malaria cases is being reported in many districts in the south-east and the eastern regions. The number of reported cases is ten times higher than the one reported at the same time in 2009; however, it worth noting that the malaria outbreak started before the emergency. The majority of the pre-positioned stocks have been used by humanitarian actors to respond to urgent needs. Few pledges have been announced by donors for the replenishment of depleted stocks. II. Situation Overview Irina and floods in the south-east regions Severe tropical storm Irina and the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) left 77 people dead and 15 others injured. The south-east regions (particularly the commune of Kelilalina in Ifanadiana district) are the most severely affected area with 27 people reported dead as a consequence of landslides. -

Bulletin SISAV Système d’Information sur la Sécurité Alimentaire et la Vulnérabilité dans les Régions Vatovavy Fitovinany, Atsimo Atsinanana, Androy et Anosy (Amboasary Atsimo) Bulletin SISAV n°27 L’essentiel Période couverte: La période couverte correspond à la mise en place des cultures de grande saison pour les Régions Décembre 2016 couvertes. Sur le plan météorologique, les prévisions de retard de la saison des pluies ont été Janvier 2017 confirmées, et il a été constaté une faiblesse des précipitations par rapport à la normale. Cela a perturbé la saison agricole et plus particulièrement le début de la période de mise en culture. Malgré le retard des pluies, les spéculations profitent de bonnes conditions météorologiques (retour de Zone de couverture la pluie, atténuation des vents forts) dans le sud au cours des mois de décembre et janvier derniers et on a observé une augmentation des superficies emblavées. Si les perspectives de récoltes sont bonnes actuellement pour l’ensemble du Sud, les difficultés alimentaires y sont toujours d’actualité et la période de soudure s’intensifie. Le niveau de vulnérabilité des Communes a connu une baisse grâce aux conditions des cultures au cours de la période d’observation et aux bonnes perspectives de récoltes ainsi qu’aux activités d’urgences qui y sont entreprises actuellement. Cela a aurait entre autres contribué à inverser la tendance dans le District d’Amboasary Atsimo, mais les actions devraient être renforcées afin de maintenir la tendance actuelle. Pour les Régions Vatovavy Fitovinany et Atsimo Atsinanana, les conditions climatiques ne sont pas aussi bonnes pour l’agriculture. -
