Stopping land degradation is one of the biggest challenges worldwide and particularly in Burundi, with its unprecedented rates of soil loss and growing food insecurity. This article proposes a different discourse on how to engage people in stopping land degradation, and presents results and lessons learned from a bottom-up inclusive approach implemented since 2014 in Burundi: the integrated farm planning (PIP) approach. The PIP approach aims to build a solid foundation for sustainable change toward enhanced food production and good land stewardship, based on three foundation principles (motivation, stewardship, and resilience) and three guiding principles (empowerment, integration, and collaboration). This article is based on two studies undertaken in 2018: an impact study among 202 households and a qualitative study using the most significant change methodology with 30 households. Findings from both studies provide initial support that the PIP approach generates considerable changes at household, farm, and village level. Based on a vision and a plan for their farm, motivated PIP households are currently investing in the resilience of their farms and applying a diversity of conservation practices, while in all PIP villages concrete collective action is undertaken for sustainable land stewardship. Given its rapid upscaling in Burundi and the potential of the PIP approach to mobilize farmers for motivated action, the article concludes with a reflection on the core elements of a different discourse to stop land degradation.

动员农民阻止土地退化:来自布隆迪的不同话语

阻止土地退化是世界范围内最大的挑战之一,尤其是在布隆迪,其土壤流失率空前,粮食不安全日益加剧。本文提出了一个不同的话语如何让人们参与制止土地退化,并介绍了自 2014 年以来在布隆迪实施的自下而上的包容性方法的成果和经验教训:综合农场规划 (PIP) 方法。PIP 方法旨在基于三项基本原则(动机、管理和复原力)和三项指导原则(赋权、整合和协作),为向提高粮食生产和良好土地管理的可持续变革奠定坚实的基础。本文基于 2018 年进行的两项研究:对 202 户家庭的影响研究和对 30 户家庭使用最显着变化方法的定性研究。这两项研究的结果提供了初步支持,即 PIP 方法在家庭、农场和村庄层面产生了相当大的变化。基于其农场的愿景和计划,积极进取的 PIP 家庭目前正在投资于其农场的复原力并应用多种保护措施,而在所有 PIP 村庄,为可持续土地管理采取了具体的集体行动。鉴于其在布隆迪的迅速扩张以及 PIP 方法在动员农民采取积极行动方面的潜力,文章最后反思了阻止土地退化的不同话语的核心要素。
