Résumé : Savanna agroforestry systems (acacia/cassava) are becoming widespread in programs aimed at tackling deforestation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Using a case study of three villages situated in the Batéké Plateau area, this article identifies three correlative factors that influence the adoption of these systems in rural areas: the scarcity of forest resources, household dependency on agriculture for income generation, and the security of the land. It then moves on to discuss the ability of these agroforestry systems to provide a sustainable transition toward post-forest agrarian systems.
