Abstract: This communication presents a framework to analyse the resilience of irrigated farms in Morrocco. It first presents a conceptual framework to analyse resilience at the farm level. The framework is then applied to a sample of farmers which were interviewed. We highlight very different perception of constraints to development and sources of risk. While some farmers identify and plan actions needed to enhance their resilience, others would only call for State intervention or even consider nothing can be done. We describe responses considered by farmers. We then investigate the factors determining buffer and adaptation capacity. A statistical classification is finally carried out to identify homogeneous farm groups in terms of resilience.
