A census of agroecological practices in Burkina Faso
The consortium has identified the existing agroecological practices from the available resources, then all the different actors analyzed and validated this inventory during a national workshop held in Ouagadougou (see 1st part attached)
A diagnosis of the obstacles to the adoption of practices
Surveys were conducted with growers in the eastern and northern regions to diagnose the barriers to sustainable and modern agroecological practices. Innovative tools that are accessible and adapted to the identified practices have been identified and validated by the various actors. Microprogrammes in French and local languages on techniques and principles of agroecology were developed and disseminated through community radios.
