Exploring conditions for agricultural viability in Guadeloupe: Identifying gatekeepers. Some insights from the French Caribbean

Résumé

Toward exacerbated global changes, one of the main current challenges is to implement agrecological transition. In this context, territorial scale appears as a consistent level where governance procedures are experienced. The context is the one of a multi-level and multi-actors’ governance leading to change in local public policy. We questioned 21 key stakeholders from agricultural frameworks as well as actors from collective organisations. By combining textual analysis tools and graph theory, we focus on stakeholders’ representations of viability as these actors produce advice regarding the settings of administrative and regulatory planning. We identify four key dimensions to viability (economical, agroecological, socio-cultural and organisational). The results show a continuum on the agroecological dimension of viability. They reveal the pivotal role of gatekeepers designed as actors able to support substantive change by transforming the agroecological dimension of viability in a ‘rational myth’. By doing so, they could initiate collective actions to promote change and support agroecological transition.
