Due to the agroecosystem deterioration of family exploitation in South Kivu, there is food insecurity and the depletion of natural resources threats present and future generations. This investigation has documented and characterized the family agroecosystems degradation in order to contribute to lasting management of resources for community benefit. The agroecosytems of family exploitation are characterized by complete lands deterioration, fallow land absence, Allan coefficient L inferior to 5, biodiversity loss, marginal lands cultivated, reduction of individual plots for a generation to another and by the production fall that are accentuated by climatic variability and demographic pressure. These are caused anthropogenic activities, inappropriate agriculture application, bad usage of lands and biodiversity and the negligence of family lands final aim. The exploitation regulation, the restoration and lasting management of agroecosytem are the possible ways to improve these inherited properties.

Abstract
Due to the agroecosystem deterioration of family exploitation in South Kivu, there is food insecurity and the depletion of natural resources threats present and future generations. This investigation has documented and characterized the family agroecosystems degradation in order to contribute to lasting management of resources for community benefit. The agroecosytems of family exploitation are characterized by complete lands deterioration, fallow land absence, Allan coefficient L inferior to 5, biodiversity loss, marginal lands cultivated, reduction of individual plots for a generation to another and by the production fall that are accentuated by climatic variability and demographic pressure. These are caused anthropogenic activities, inappropriate agriculture application, bad usage of lands and biodiversity and the negligence of family lands final aim. The exploitation regulation, the restoration and lasting management of agroecosytem are the possible ways to improve these inherited properties.

Abstract: (french)
Au Sud Kivu, face à la dégradation des agroécosystèmes d’exploitation familiale, l’insécurité alimentaire et l’épuisement des ressources naturelles menacent les générations présentes et futures. La présente étude a permis de documenter et caractériser la dégradation des agroécosystèmes familiaux afin de contribuer à la gestion durable des ressources naturelles d’intérêt communautaire. Les agroécosystèmes d’exploitation familiale sont caractérisés par la dégradation complète des sols, l‘absence de jachère, le coefficient L d’Allan inférieur à 5, la perte des biodiversités, des terres marginales cultivées, la réduction des surfaces individuelles d’une génération à l’autre et la chute de la production qui sont aggravés par la variabilité climatique et la pression démographique. Ceux-ci sont causés par les activités anthropiques, les pratiques agricoles inappropriées, l’exploitation anarchique des sols et de la biodiversité et la négligence de la finalité des terres familiales. La réglementation de l’exploitation, la restauration et la gestion durables des agroécosystèmes est une alternative pour améliorer ces patrimoines héritables.
