  abstract = {{T}he {P}aris {A}greement calls for limiting global warming below 2 degrees {C}. {T}he "4 per 1,000 {I}nitiative: {S}oils for food security and climate" was launched in 2015 to increase soil organic carbon sequestration with three objectives: mitigation of climate change, adaptation to climate change and improved food security. {O}ne of the challenges of the {I}nitiative relates to its feasibility in contrasted biophysical, social and economic environments, questioning the adoption rate of required new practices. {W}e conducted participatory multi-stakeholder workshops in {F}rance and {S}enegal to collect knowledge and perception of farmers, {NGO}s, agro-industries, administrations, donors and researchers on barriers and coping strategies for 4 per 1,000 innovations. {R}esults in both countries reveal the predominance of social and economic barriers such as lack of knowledge or training, increased difficulties of fieldwork, workload, risk handling, funding and social pressure. {B}iophysical constraints such as limited potential of soil organic matter storage or rainfall scarcity and variability appear more important in {S}enegal. {I}dentified actions to foster the sequestration of soil carbon call for an improved policy context leading to innovations in land planning, stakeholder communication, demonstration facilities, capacity building or financial support. {F}ewer constraints and coping strategies mention technical issues, showing that fostering agricultural soil carbon sequestration is more a question of enabling environment than technical innovations or farmers' willingness for change. {W}e conclude that actions to support the 4 per 1,000 {I}nitiative need to include a variety of stakeholders such as extension services, private sector, civil society, local institutions, policy makers, consumers, and not only farmers.},
