Burkina Faso, like many Sahelian countries, faces major challenges related to the degradation of natural resources, food insecurity, rural poverty, and the growing effects of climate change. In this context. conventional agriculture, which is heavily dependent on chemical inputs, is showing its limitations in terms of ecological sustainability and the resilience of family farms.
In response to this situation, agroecology is emerging as a credible, inclusive, and sustainable alternative, combining endogenous knowledge, ecological innovations, and social equity. Since the 1990s, several initiatives have emerged in Burkina Faso, driven by farmers’ organizations, NGOs, research institutions, and public policies.
