DESCRIPTION:In Senegal\, agricultural production is affected by increasing
  land degradation – i.e. in the Senegal River valley\, an important rice
 -growing area. The main causes are deforestation\, overgrazing\, the aband
 onment of sustainable agricultural practices\, and the excessive use of ch
 emical fertilizers and pesticides. The Farmer Field School approach integr
 ated the System of Rice Intensification and involved training producers. T
 his was followed by a comparative analysis of the effects of traditional p
 ractices on rice production and sustainable land management. Subsequently\
 , the most effective and sustainable practices were identified and promote
 d. In a context of climate change\, land degradation\, and declining yield
 s\, SRI appears to be a promising farming practice for sustainable land ma
 nagement\, improved natural resource management\, and enhanced resilience 
 of family farms.\n\nJoin via zoom! (See link below)
