  abstract = {{S}patio-temporal variability and dynamics in {S}ahelian agro-pastoral zones make each local situation a special case. {T}hese specificities must be considered to guide the dissemination of agricultural options with a view to sustainable development. {T}he territorial scale of municipalities is not sufficient for this necessary contextualization; the scale of the 'village terroir' seems to be a better option. {T}his is the hypothesis we put forward in the framework of the {G}lobal {C}ollaboration for {R}esilient {F}ood {S}ystems program ({CRFS}), i.e. local context is spatially defined by village terroir. {T}he study is based on data collected through participatory mapping and surveys in 'village terroirs' in three regions of {N}iger ({M}aradi, {D}osso and {T}illab{\'e}ri). {T}hen the links between farm managers and their cultivated land, as well as the spatio-temporal dynamics of local context are analyzed. {T}his study provides evidence of the existence and functional usefulness of the village terroir for farmers, their land management and their activities. {I}t demonstrates the usefulness of contextualizing agricultural options at this scale. {T}heir analysis elucidates the links between 'terroirs village' and the specific functioning of the agrosocio-ecosystems acting on each of them, thus laying the systemic and geographical foundations for a model of the spatio- temporal dynamics of 'village terroirs'. {T}his initial work has opened up new perspectives in modeling and sustainable development.},
