• TITLE: Changing Public Agricultural Policies to Support Small-Scale Agriculture and Preserve Biodiversity: The Case of Guadeloupe

  AUTHORS: Paméla Obertan

  KEYWORDS: Agriculture, Public Policies, Governance, Biodiversity, Small-Scale Farming, Representation

  JOURNAL NAME: Natural Resources, Vol.16 No.13, December 29, 2025

  ABSTRACT: Several recent studies have shown the virtuous link between the preservation of biodiversity and the promotion of small-scale agriculture. In Guadeloupe, this model is dominant and employs more than 70% of farmers. However, it has often been neglected. In this article, we will seek to understand this situation by analysing the public policies that are supposed to support agriculture. We will use a cognitive analysis framework to examine why this agricultural model is neglected, particularly because of the negative image people have of small-scale agriculture. The article will therefore emphasize the importance of changing the representation of small-scale agriculture and the need to develop agricultural policies differently in order to better support farmers who care for biodiversity.
