Intégré au CEFE depuis novembre 2024, mes recherches portent sur les relations entre les sociétés humaines et leur environnement. Elles se situent à la lisière de l’ethnoécologie et de l’anthropologie de la santé, en tentant d’inscrire les sciences sociales dans un dialogue avec l’écologie et les sciences biomédicales.

 

Member of CEFE since November 2024, my research focuses on the interactions between human societies and their environment. They are at the edge between ethnoecology and health antropology and attemp to position social sciences in a dialogue between ecology and biomedical sciences.

My research addresses the roles of biodiversity, wild and domesticated (i.e. agrobiodiversity), in the functioning and resilience of agroecosystems. My research is interdisciplinary, bridging different domains of ecology (landscape, soil, functional ecology) with social sciences (ethnobiology, archaeology, economy). Thanks to these collaborations and the use of a wide range of approaches (fieldwork, modeling, GIS, remote sensing), my research spans multiple temporal (from decades to millennium) and spatial (local, regional and national) scales.

 

Background & current project in a nutshell

During my Ph.D. (2010, University of Montpellier), I assessed the long-term ecological effects of past agricultural practices on plants, soil macroinvertebrates and soil functioning. After a year of teaching, I completed six years of post-doctoral studies in North America (McGill, Canada and University of California in Santa Barbara, USA). My work provided multiple insights into the roles of habitat, functional and species diversities to support sustainable ways of farming.

I am currently the PI of the AgrobiodiverSity for a food-Secure planet-ASSET project (publicly funded by the French program Make Our Planet Great Again). Combining ecology and ethnoecology, ASSET is assessing the potential contributions of crop plants and local knowledge diversities to strengthen societies’ capacities to face increasing climatic variability.

Research themes

Biodiversity and ecosystem functioning in agroecosystems: I investigate how theoretical and empirical work in the ecological field of biodiversity and ecosystem functioning can help design more sustainable and resilient agroecosystems. Although most studies investigated the benefits of increasing crop diversity at the genetic, specific or functional levels within plots (through intercropping or rotation) on yield, soil fertility and pest/disease regulation, how agrobiodiversity can stabilize agroecosystem functioning through time remain largely unknown. In this area, I attempt to answer questions such as the following: Does increasing crop diversity lead to greater stability of yield through time ? What are the mechanisms behind the agrobiodiversity-stability relationship? More specifically, can crop diversity stabilize yield in the face of increased climate variability ? How do agrobiodiversity and agricultural management practices (e.g. irrigation, fertilization, etc.) interact to stabilize or destabilize yield? I tackle these questions across spatial scales, from plots to landscapes up to national and regional scales, combining historical data sets and empirical data collection.

Agrobiodiversity and traditional ecological knowledge: I am working closely with ethnoecologist and anthropologists to deepen the understanding of local knowledge linked to climate change and its local impacts on agriculture and how farmer use their knowledge on plants, climate and their land to make management decisions. In this theme, I work specifically with Yildiz Aumeeruddy-Thomas, Sophie Caillon and Victoria Reyes-Garcia and her LICCI project.

Ecosystem engineering in tropical wetlands: I am passionate about landscapes featuring regularly spaced earth mounds that can be seen from the air or space. I started to study these landscapes during my Ph.D in French Guiana where mounds were pre-Columbian raised fields, built by farmers to protect their crops from seasonal flooding. Humans are not the only ecosystem engineers to build earth mounds: termites, ants and earthworms are also known as mound builders. All these organisms use the same strategy: building mounds to promote their persistence in flood-prone or very dry environments. This convergence led to landscapes that are very resembling. One of the question I ask is methodological: How can we differentiate earth mounds of human and natural origin? My most recent research on earth mounds focus on surales, one of the most spectacular examples of regular patterns in natural ecosystems, located in the Orinoco Llanos of Colombia and Venezuela. Our team’s previous work showed that an earthworm species create individual mounds. But the question we ask now is how the ecosystem-level pattern emerges? And how the spatial pattern is modulated by environmental variables (e.g. topography and water depth)?

A travers un engagement ethnographique avec les agriculteur·rices, je cherche à décrire et comprendre les relations des humains avec leurs plantes, leur rapport à l’espace ou au lieu, et plus largement le rôle des organisations sociales et des institutions dans l’élaboration et la transformation de ces relations. Mes objectifs sont de comprendre comment (i.e. savoirs, ontologies et pratiques) et pourquoi (i.e. valeurs instrumentales, intrinsèques et surtout relationnelles), les agriculteur·rices gèrent, maintiennent et expérimentent une diversité de variétés et d’espèces. J’ai particulièrement étudié, à l’aide d’analyses de réseaux sociaux, les modalités de circulation des plantes et des connaissances associées. Plus récemment, mon objectif est d’identifier les valeurs de bien-être bioculturel chez les agriculteur·rices d’Océanie et de France (vigneron·nes), ainsi que les processus sociaux, écologiques et politiques générateurs d’un vignoble et de vin de « qualité » en Occitanie.

Mes travaux se déclinent ainsi en cinq thèmes : (1) Savoirs hybrides et classification des plantes ; (2) Valeurs associées à l’agrobiodiversité ; (3) Circulation des semences et des savoirs ; (4) Bien-être des agriculteur·rices ; (5) Transition « qualité » des vins occitans.

Directrice de Recherche au CNRS

Yildiz Aumeeruddy-Thomas développe des travaux qui interrogent les relations entre les sociétés et la biodiversité, et la nature plus largement. Anthropologue et écologue, ses travaux se situent à la croisée de ces deux disciplines. Ayant travaillé dans divers grands biomes de la planète, les forêts tropicales humides, le hautes montagnes Himalayennes et la Méditerranée au cours de ces 35 dernières années, elle s’intéresse à la fois à la diversité des interfaces entre nature et culture, mais aussi aux traits communs qui caractérisent les sociétés humaines et leurs expériences avec le vivant. Soucieuse des grandes questions environnementales actuelles, elle est engagée dans le dialogue entre sciences et politiques, notamment à l'IPBES en tant qu’auteur de l’Evaluation Globale. Elle a mené au cours des dix dernières années, des travaux sur la domestication des arbres et l’agrobiodiversité en Méditerranéenne. .

Director of Research at CNRS

Yildiz Aumeeruddy-Thomas' work examines the relationships between societies and biodiversity, and nature more broadly. As an anthropologist and ecologist, her work lies at the crossroads of these two disciplines. Having worked in a number of the planet's major biomes - tropical rainforests, the Himalayan high mountains and the Mediterranean - over the last 35 years, she is interested both in the diversity of the interfaces between nature and culture, and in the common features that characterise human societies and their experiences with living beings. Keenly aware of today's major environmental issues, she is involved in the dialogue between science and policy, notably at IPBES as author of the Global Assessment (2019). Over the last ten years, she has been working on the domestication of trees and agrobiodiversity in the Mediterranean.

Research Themes

(1) Synergies between local and scientific knowledge for a deeper understanding of social-ecological systems

My thesis in Sumatra under the Direction of Francis Hallé (Tropical Botanist) and the guidance of Claudine Friedberg (Antropologist, specialised in Indonesian societies) gave me the opportunity to study the relationships between the Kerinci people and their highly complex agroforestry systems, comprising hundreds of trees, domesticated and wild, with multiple material and symbolic values that integrate tubers, spicy species, medicinals and magic species, all of which are intricately linked to the Kerinci people's life. The Kerinci people, would not have been very happy to speak with somebody that could not perceive the difference between a durian, a mangosteen, or the 22 varieties of bananas that they grew or even the 13 species of wild bambous that they encouraged to grow in the agroforests.  Fortunately I was trained in tropical botany and in ecology in Montpellier. However to understand such systems I also required to develop approaches in anthropology, and was highly encouraged by Claudine Friedberg and other anthropologists with whom I eagerly developed many exchanges. Adjoining the agroforestry systems, the ricefields were not less diverse, although seemingly very homogenous. Precisely, all the different varieties of traditional rice harmoniously matured at about the same time, thus preventing people from having to watch only withina short period, the birds that attack the ripe rice. Yet newly introduced varieties grew in different small and fragmented plots that ripened at different periods; they represented an easy prey for the birds, making the life of Kerinci people extremely difficult. They spent a huge amount of time protecting their precious staple food with a variety of strange sounds and mecanical systems to keep away the birds. My thesis was therefore a school in situ about the importance of agrobiodiversity, rythms of labor in an agrarian society and the necessity to look carefully in situ at the complexity of local social organizations as well as ecology. Multiple evidence approaches, giving a full attention to local knowledge through ethnographic studies while also using approaches to observe ecological phenomena is a prerequisite to develop our understanding of such social-ecological systems.

(2) Classifications and local ontologies: how to establish a dialogue between different actors in order to seek sustainable approaches

Since 1990, I have  studied ways different sociéties, the Kerinci people in Indonesia, the Dolpo people in Nepal, the Cevenols in France, the Jbala in Morocco and lately the Pantescans in Pantelleria, Sicily, classify living elements of nature, and also soils, winds, as well as non-tangible. These studies  are based on ethnographic data and fine and long periods of  field-based investigations, represent the means of understanding the basis of local knowledge systems and how local collective human groups classify and share knowledge about nature. Such approaches have led to a major result that is the overlapping of different classification systems within each of these societies, showing different relational  systems, that may vary according to professions, differentiations between symbolic and naturalist classifications. Classifications, as well as recording of myths and local stories, investigating memory and attachment, as well as ways a given society engage materially through practices with plants or other elements of nature, are the set of elements required to decipherhuman-nature  ontologies, i.e. principles that regulate the relationships between people and other elements of nature.

(3) Domestications past and on-going, dynamics of agroecosystems, agrobiodiversity and associated local knowledge and practices at landscape level ; associated multiple values

My work has focused since 2006 in the Mediterranean basin, on 'traditional' agroecosystems in northern Morocco and France and lately in Sicily. My focus on trees, especially in Morocco on olive (Olea europeae), almonds (Prunus dulcis) and figs (Ficus carica), as well as argan (Argania spinosa) has enabled to foster our understanding of ways people interact with a tree populations forming a continuum ranging  from wild parents, feral or escapees from agriculture, to domesticated landraces within local territories

(4) Dialogue between science and policy for the inclusion of local and indigenous knowledge and promotion of transformative changes within the context of global changes.
