The massive deforestation underway in Senegal has resulted in soil impoverishment, a drop in crop production and farmers' incomes, and the impoverishment of rural communities. Through a combined intervention in rainwater resource management, agroforestry patch reintroduction and community capacity building, we are able to stop this vicious circle.
This ecosystem approach to the problems of Senegalese farmers promotes a multi-faceted rebalancing of production conditions and is accompanied by a rapid and sustainable improvement in nutrition and living conditions. The aim of the "Rain, Forest and People" and "Earth and Rain" projects is to contribute to strengthening the food sovereignty and resilience of rural communities in the face of climate change.
