PROJECT DESCRIPTION (DE)
Initial situation
In Burkina Faso, agriculture contributes around 22 percent to the gross domestic product (GDP). It is the main source of income for 63 percent of the working population.

In recent times, agricultural production has increased steadily. However, this has also had negative consequences. The soils in many parts of the country are no longer healthy, which is due to unfavourable agricultural cultivation practices. For example, organic material is often only introduced to a small extent, chemical fertilizers are used improperly and regeneration times for the soil are not observed.

In Burkina Faso, actors are doing a better job of growing rice, cassava and soy by using environmentally friendly cultivation methods.
Approach
The program's approach targets the value chain. It implements its strategies by working towards three core results:
