Malmon Mangrove Guinea

Global Food and Nutrition Security

Brief me

The project aims at increasing the productivity and stabilising the inter-annual mangrove swamp rice production, as well as better understanding and improving the drivers and complex dynamics of mangroves’ ecosystem change. The agri-aquaculture-livestock farming system, unique of West Africa, relies on the capacity to mobilise specialised knowledge (for dike and dam construction and maintenance, water management, the control of soil fertility and toxicity, and variety selection) and massive labour at certain periods of the cycle. At present, these rich farmers’ knowledge and skills have been showing numerous gaps in face of new agroecological and socioeconomic conditions.
