Burkina Faso
Description
The project isstructured into three complementary objectives:
- Further explorationand characterization of plant agrobiodiversity in order to identify key geneticresources worth implementing and testing into new cropping systems.
- Co-design andco-evaluation of new cropping systems that meet farmer constraints andobjectives through the mobilization of an enlarged plant agrobiodiversity.
- Evaluation ofdifferent scenarios of crop diversification at farm and landscape levels
