Global Food and Nutrition Security

Brief me

The objective is to strengthen family farming in its capacity to contribute to food and nutritional security and its responses to sustainable development, in particular by identifying and testing the conditions for an agro-ecological transition for rice farmers and market gardeners in South Benin.

The intervention will work on specific production systems in South Benin as part of an agro-ecological transition in agriculture involving changes at the level of agricultural holdings, water management methods but also to other levels downstream and upstream of production. The project will favour Participatory Action Research in collaboration with producers and in collaboration with researchers from several disciplines in the identification of issues. For this, innovation platforms will be set up. The search and popularization of solutions will be based on the networks of endogenous trainers within producer organizations. The project will take into account the socio-economic aspects at the farm and marketing level. Particular emphasis will be placed on the social and economic dimensions of innovations and will focus on the processes of dissemination of innovations.
