This study develops a typology of family farms in the commune of Fandène, located in the peri-urban area of Thiès, Senegal. A purposive sample of 100 farms across nine villages was selected using a non-probabilistic approach. Data collection combined two complementary tools: a structured questionnaire for quantitative surveys and an interview guide for qualitative insights. The analysis, integrating descriptive statistics with multivariate techniques, revealed three distinct farm types: (I) low-production and vulnerable (77%), (II) intermediate production with moderate diversification (15%), and (III) intensive and high-income (8%). These categories differ in farming practices and average annual income (Type I: 1,107,052 FCFA; Type II: 3,887,867 FCFA; Type III: 8,294,750 FCFA). Key constraints vary by profile, including limited access to motorized equipment, labor shortages, restricted financing opportunities, and land tenure insecurity. This typology underscores the heterogeneity of family farms at the local scale, particularly in peri-urban contexts, and provides a strategic framework for guiding agricultural policies and rural development interventions.
