Abstract

Les auteurs présentent une analyse préliminaire de l'arrivée des technologies numériques dans l'agriculture familiale africaine, et ouvrent des pistes de recherche sur les conditions dans lesquelles le numérique peut contribuer à un développement inclusif ou au contraire creuser des fractures déjà fortement ancrées entre villes et campagnes, et entre l'agriculture salariale d'exportation et l'agriculture familiale, prédominante sur le continent et dont les besoins diffèrent. Au travers de quelques illustrations de services et de technologies utilisés par les ménages agricoles, les auteurs montrent que l'agriculture numérique sensu largo est prédominante par rapport à l'agriculture de précision sensu stricto. Ils y présentent les acteurs impliqués dans le développement des services : entreprises de filière, État, organisations professionnelles. Enfin, ils concluent sur quelques cadres d'analyse qu'il serait utile de mobiliser pour conduire de futurs travaux de recherche sur l'effet de ces technologies en matière d'inclusivité et de fracture.
