Abstract: In the rural Madagascan High Plateau, arable plots have become increasingly small and do not allow households to provide for their fundamental needs. Faced with food insecurity, households have developed different strategies to adapt their livelihoods, leading to a differentiation between farms, and translating into a kind of adaptation of family farming. Family farms are evolving. Given the lack of financial and physical capital, demographic structures play an important part in adaptation strategies and generate differentiation in the organization of activities within families, in work relations, and in income structures.
