Transition to sustainable and inclusive food systems

• Project duration : 2022-2026

Our objective:

To support agricultural entrepreneurs and rural communities in the Savanes Region in their transition to sustainable food systems. This involves strengthening their individual and collective capacities to enable them to fully exercise their economic, social, cultural and environmental rights, while integrating gender equality at the heart of every action.

Our actions

• Training for agricultural entrepreneurs and producers to strengthen technical skills and promote sustainable farm management;
• Practical workshops on innovative marketing and food hygiene;
• Integration of livestock farming into agriculture;
• Deployment and strengthening of the Participatory Guarantee System (PGS) for the certification of locally produced agroecological products;
• Creation of an online platform, EcoAgriMarket, for the sale of local agroecological products;
• Assessment and support for the agroecological transition of around 100 farms;
• Implementation of a literacy programme using the Reflect method (Regenerated Freirean Literacy through Community Techniques) comprising eight literacy centres, mainly for women;
• Facilitation of community reading, writing and listening clubs.

Our impact

This project enables agricultural producers and entrepreneurs to strengthen their skills, increase their incomes and better promote their products, while promoting the economic inclusion of women and the resilience of rural communities.
