This study aims to contribute to the understanding of factors influencing the sustainable farmland
management in Niger. Specifically, it examines the determinants of adoption of sustainable land
management practices including measures to combat erosion, and the use of manure, residues and
fertilizer with a view to support the formulation of efficient land use policies based on evidences
given fact that the impact of factors influencing farmland management appears to be specific to
each context. The study is based on data from the National Survey of Household Living Conditions
and Agriculture of 2011 (ECVMA-2011) analyzed within the framework of multivariate Probit
model. The results show that there are unobservable interdependences between the decisions on
farmland management practices. Furthermore, several types of factors related to access to physical,
human, financial and biophysical capitals as well as infrastructure and services seem to play an
important role. In addition, it appears that more security is needed in land tenure for a sustainable
farmland management while farmland defragmentation can act negatively on sustainable farmland
management.
