  <dc:description>Bien qu'il existe des statistiques et cartographie g&#xE9;n&#xE9;rale sur les syst&#xE8;mes d'irrigation de l'Am&#xE9;rique latine, il n'est pas possible de distinguer les zones d'agriculture familiale irrigu&#xE9;e situ&#xE9;es en altitude. Dans cet article nous localisons et quantifions ces zones en utilisant des m&#xE9;thodologies de cartographie qui permettent d'isoler ce type de zones. Les crit&#xE8;res retenus pour la s&#xE9;lection de ces zones sont : 1) la pr&#xE9;sence d'irrigation; 2) une densit&#xE9; de population rurale d&#xE9;passant 50 habitants/km2; 3) une altitude sup&#xE9;rieure &#xE0; 1000m. Les r&#xE9;sultats obtenus confirment une pr&#xE9;sence remarquable de ce type de production &#xE0; travers du continent. Toutefois, en raison du manque de pr&#xE9;cision de certaines sources donn&#xE9;es, les r&#xE9;sultats pr&#xE9;sent&#xE9;s sont &#xE0; titre informatif. Although there are statistics and general cartography on irrigation systems in Latin America, this information does not permit to identify the irrigated family farming zones located in the highland areas. In this article we locate and quantify those zones through the use of cartographic methods that helped to identify the zones that meet three requirements: 1) they are irrigated areas; 2) they are located in zones above 1000 m; 3) Their rural population density is higher than 50 inhabitants per km2. The results confirm a wide presence of this type of systems in all Latin-American sub-regions. Nevertheless, due to the restrictions of quality and updating of the information from the available sources, the results given in the present document must be taken as a guideline.</dc:description>
