Smallholder farmers are important managers of global crop diversity. However, agricultural modernization is changing farming practices and raising questions about the socio-ecological factors that support crop diversity. In the context of the semi-arid High Atlas Mountains in Morocco, we explored determinants of crop diversity through a cross-sectional survey and farmer interviews in villages adopting new crops such as apples. Through a multiple linear regression analysis and farmer interviews, we found that market participation, land holdings, and water access influenced crop diversity. We highlight the importance of water access for crop diversity, especially in semi-arid regions with uneven hydrological resources.

摩洛哥高阿特拉斯山脉小农维持作物多样性的决定因素

小农是全球作物多样性的重要管理者。然而,农业现代化正在改变耕作方式,并引发了有关支持作物多样性的社会生态因素的问题。在摩洛哥半干旱的高阿特拉斯山脉的背景下,我们通过横断面调查和对采用苹果等新作物的村庄的农民访谈,探索了作物多样性的决定因素。通过多元线性回归分析和农民访谈,我们发现市场参与、土地持有和水资源获取影响作物多样性。我们强调水资源获取对作物多样性的重要性,尤其是在水文资源不均的半干旱地区。
