Madagascar is experiencing a rise in internal migration driven by climate change, the loss of rural livelihoods, and extreme poverty. A research team at Centre FAFIALA is aiming to revive sericulture by regenerating high-performing Bombyx mori silkworm strains suited to local conditions, stabilising and diversifying incomes for vulnerable households, including those affected by migration, while creating sustainable economic opportunities in fragile rural areas. The study combines biological trials with socio-economic research on both migrant and sedentary communities, with pilot sites in six affected regions to identify optimal production conditions and assess economic impacts. Women and young people will be prioritised for training and support. By linking sericulture, economic resilience, and migration, the project will contribute to national poverty reduction strategies and provide a scalable model for rural development.
