In Ziguinchor, southern Senegal, urban agriculture faces challenges posed by environmental changes and population growth. This article examines, through quantitative and qualitative observations and surveys, food resilience in the face of crises such as pollution, salinity and acidification. The results indicate a degradation of agricultural and natural spaces, reflecting a vulnerability linked to urbanization and the impoverishment of ecosystems. Certain nurturing spaces, endowed with cultural or religious value, encourage their preservation. Finally, a greening of agricultural practices is respected, although these initiatives are not yet fully supported by local authorities.

In Senegal, despite legislative progress in favor of gender parity, women remain largely under-represented in land governance bodies at the municipal level. This situation contrasts with their major contribution to agricultural production, particularly in food crops. Furthermore, although the principle of citizen participation is legally recognized, there is a lack of operational mechanisms allowing the effective involvement of local communities, particularly women, in land management. To remedy this exclusion, civil society organizations have developed tools aimed at promoting participatory and inclusive land governance. These initiatives encourage the establishment of joint local consultation frameworks and the strict application of parity in decision-making bodies. Administrative authorities are called upon to ensure respect for parity in state commissions, and the State, as well as parliamentarians, to legally recognize these gender-sensitive local governance tools.
