Rooted in culture, constrained by means: exploring crops and associated motivations among Masikoro and Antandroy farmers in Southwestern Madagascar
Our findings underline the importance of accounting for cultural group differences in crop choices and crop diversity management, even when these groups coexist in the same landscape. Integrating these perspectives is essential for designing more effective conservation and agricultural development initiatives, particularly those supporting crop diversification in risk-prone regions.
