2. Description of the SLM Approach
2.1 Short description of the Approach
La création d'un réseau informel pour le développement des mesures de conservation des terres en agriculture de conservation.
2.2 Detailed description of the Approach
Detailed description of the Approach:
Les agriculteurs ont remarqué que la fertilité de leurs sols est en continuelle dégradation avec une forte érosion hydrique avec l'augmentation des couts de production tels que le travail du sol, les intrants et les frais d'entretien des matériels agricoles et le cout de gasoil. C'est parce que quand ils ont été sensibilisés par des projets internationaux d'agriculture de conservation, ils ont adopté l'idée de tester les techniques de l'agriculture de conservation et aprés l'adoption totale dans leurs propres parcelles.
Ensuite et grace au support des experts nationaux et internationaux lors des journées d'informations et des écoles champs et des voyages d'échange, s'est formé un réseau informel basé sur des amitiés entre des agriculteurs nationaux et internationaux.
