“…In doing these, many agricultural programs like the Agrarian Reform (1971), in the mid-1970s, the government adopted socialist policies. These include the destructive ''revolution agraire'' /''agricultural revolution'' that entailed the nationalization of private land and the grouping of peasants into ''domaines socialites''/''socialist syndicate'' without land title (Bouchakour & Bedrani, 2015).…”

In Algerian Saharan, oases are characterized by the fragility of the ecosystem and degradation of microclimate, which covers most of the Algerian oasis, where the climate change is adversely affecting the society of the developing countries because their livelihoods rely mainly on climate-dependent activities, whether agricultural or economic. Zelfana is one of the thirteen oases that encompass the region of Ghardaia (Algerian Sahara); it is part of the territory of the Châamba. This oasis characterized for the past two decades by phoenicicole farms knows strong socio-economic and cultural mutations that have strongly influenced the agricultural sector for several decades. The main purpose of the paper aims to understand this diversity and define the characteristics of the farms, which rely on a structural typology for Treatment data by MAC - Multiple Correspondence Analysis under SPSS. After that, we determine the number of classes corresponding to the types of agricultural farms. Based on the most discriminating variables, we cleared the characteristics of each farm type. From this study, we determined the more discriminating variables include the professional identity of the farmer, the importance of farms, seniority, location, size of the farm, and the dominant culture. Clustering indicates five types of farms, namely: ancient irrigated farms (small gardens and Palm grove (CAPER)), the improved farms, small new farms, and at last the medium and large farms.

“…The survey showed that the majority of farmers combined agricultural and external activities and that between 64 per cent and 84 per cent of farmers with off‐farm jobs eventually left agriculture (Chaulet ). More recently, Bouchakour and Bedrani () pointed to the increasing pressure on Algerian farmers to leave their farms and take up lucrative employment or business in nonagricultural sectors.…”

Off‐farm work is a widespread, two‐edged, phenomenon that can help both the survival and the demise of small‐ and medium‐sized agricultural exploitations. Given the prevalence of poverty in rural areas, nonfarm income has been credited with helping farmers to survive. But the observed shrinking of rural areas has also raised the question of whether off‐farm work is pulling farmers permanently away from farming. This paper explores the impact of farmer characteristics on the decision to work off‐farm in developing countries where this phenomenon has been largely neglected. A review of theory and prior empirical work suggests four main hypotheses which we test empirically. The results suggest that while some farmer characteristics appear to be universal, others appear to be country‐ or culture‐specific.

We examine the efficiency of 113 countries in exploiting their natural resources to achieve food independence. Our results suggest that food independence is determined by natural resources endowments, and research and development. Per-capita agricultural land, renewable freshwater and irrigation increase food independence, whereas temperature rise and storm severity have the reverse effect. Food independence efficiency is promoted by the presence of strong legal rights and infrastructure, but inhibited by population growth, agriculture volatility and oil rents. Our findings also suggest that oil-producing countries are the least efficient, but contrary to expectations, low-income economies are more efficient than industrialized economies.
