“…On one hand, partners' statements are consistent with the notions of inclusive growth and markets, promising increased profit through a business meeting the needs of the poor (Arnani, 2006;Binet, 2014;Gradl and al., 2008). On the other, LdB dairy consortium is archetypical of a modern intervention in development, whereby public funds are used to directly support private investments (Gabas and al., 2014). Though presented as part of the social business movement, the technical intensification pattern promoted by LdB ignores fundamental changes in local economy and society generated by a set of development interventions.…”

“…This research, which was conducted a part of a doctoral research project in development anthropology (Magnani, 2016), is grounded in the social sciences and adopts an interdisciplinary framework that considers how natural and living resources acquire different meanings and values for stakeholders (Hubert and Ison, 2011). Changes in food and development public policy touch on socio-economic issues (Binet, 2014;Gabas and al., 2014). The research was carried out in a collective research program on agroecology and livestock production in France, Brazil, Uruguay and Senegal 1 .…”

Since the 1970s, the import of tax-free powdered milk has presented an easy solution to the growing demand for dairy products in West Africa. Recent increases in agricultural price volatility have since contributed to a renewed interest in local milk. However, while the present situation raises issues of food security, rural development and trade policy, public policy remains overly focused on the technical dimensions of dairy development. This article presents the dairy landscape of Senegal, a major regional importer of powdered milk, by considering development dynamics in light of the interactions between technical and organizational models and livestock systems, in terms of relationships with resources and environment, knowledge and social organization. Two implications are discussed: the need for effective sectoral policy to tip the balance in favour of local milk; the need to base public action on a better understanding of, and improved support for, livestock systems in all their diversity.

“…More generally, the social business model, like the corporate social responsibility model, allows actors in agrobusiness to not only forge partnerships with each other, but also develop broad coalitions of actors likely to support the legitimisation of their political stances and to create favourable power relations within international development decision-making circles (Binet, 2014). This mirrors the general evolution of aid, in which private actors play an ever more central role (Gabas et al, 2014).…”

Since the 1990s, the scientific literature has shown how the technical model of intensification of livestock production is ill adapted to the characteristics of semi-arid climates and the pastoral systems operating in them. While this led to changes in the rhetoric of pastoral development, there have been no significant shifts in its conceptual foundations and working methods. This article analyses the forms of this persistence, its effects and its causes in the Valley of the Senegal River through a study of the introduction of a social business dairy project into the pastoral area surrounding the city of Richard Toll. The industrial dairy producers and the pastoralists mutually use each other for their own ends, thereby reinforcing the discrepancy between their objectives and the logic of their systems. The model of intensification is persistent because it plays a political role in constructing alliances between actors from agribusiness, and because choices about land use and resource access are depoliticised and repeatedly made in their favour. The article underlines the urgency of re-politicising and rethinking the logic behind pastoral development and the challenges it faces, and of deconstructing the rhetoric of reconciling profit with social development which serves mainly to reinforce the role that private businesses play in shaping public action.

“…Les registres interprétatifs du pastoralisme, de l'insécurité, des conflits ainsi que les prescriptions de la littérature institutionnelle animent le monde de l'aide internationale, alors que les coalitions d'acteurs locaux et internationaux marquent les champs des politiques, des transformations sociales et de l'aide, modifiant l'action publique en Afrique de l'Ouest (Gabas et al, 2014). Ces processus hybrides sont spécifiques à des territoires et des pays.…”

Mots-clés pastoralisme, insécurité, conflits, foncier pastoral, récits institutionnels, citoyenneté, Nigeria Résumé Cet article propose une analyse critique des récits institutionnels sur les liens entre « pastoralisme » et « insécurité » -devenus le nouveau centre des débats sur le pastoralisme en Afrique de l'Ouest -en questionnant le rôle conféré au foncier, et les enjeux politiques de ces discours. Après avoir reconstruit la transformation et la publicisation des récits des institutions d'aide, il montre comment ceux-ci recadrent la compréhension de la mobilité, du foncier pastoral et des structures sociales rurales dans une perspective réifiante et globalisante. À partir d'une analyse des dynamiques à l'oeuvre au Nigeria, il montre comment une approche multidimensionnelle et processuelle du foncier conduit à changer de perspective et à poser la question de la citoyenneté en milieu rural et pastoral.
