March 30, 2018 at 06:01PM Cacao : face au changement climatique, l’agroécologie à la rescousse

Si de nouvelles variétés sont nécessaires à l’agriculture pour résister aux aléas climatiques, elles ne seront pas suffisantes. Il faut les intégrer dans une démarche globale d'agro-écologie. C’est ainsi qu’on donnera une chance à l’agriculture, notamment sous les tropiques, de continuer à produire nos aliments de base et certains de nos aliments préférés, comme le chocolat. Le cacao peut en effet être cultivé en agroforesterie dans des zones initialement peu propices.

A study analysed the role played by informal stakeholders in agricultural supply chains irrigated using groundwater in North Africa. The results, published in Hydrogeology Journal , show that such players are often the catalysts of the expansion of this type of irrigated agriculture. It is therefore particularly appropriate to involve them in sustainable aquifer management. On World Water Day, it is important to remember that groundwater is a major factor in managing water resources worldwide.
