Résumé : | Land degradation, caused by human-induced processes such as agricultural practices, deforestation and overgrazing, poses a significant threat to countries worldwide, including Tunisia. Agroecological farming practices, as well as the broader paradigm of agroecology to transform food systems, are considered important solutions to address the challenges and drivers of land degradation. This paper aims to explore the potential of future agroecology transformations in the country as well as institutional factors hindering such transformations. We build on the six domains of transformations by Anderson et al. (2021) and institutional analysis literature, and use soil governance as an example. Building on primary and secondary data, we find that the current institutional landscape in Tunisia is largely disabling of effective soil protection and broader agroecology transformations. The analysis provides insights into formal and informal institutions that can be targeted to build a more enabling environment for agroecology transformations. |
