Abstract: This study focus on the survival strategies implemented in the marketgardening?s chain of Kinshasa (DR Congo). Conceptually, it questions the notions of social capital and adaptation, and integrates them into a capabilitybased framework of vulnerability. It thus makes it possible to define an ethics of survival. This conceptual framework then allows the analysis of the marketgardeners and vegetable saleswomen strategies, and social anchoring of these strategies.
