Following the public defense of her doctoral thesis, ‘Impacts of Agroecology-based Development Programs on Smallholder Farmers’ Livelihoods in Eastern Burkina Faso?’, Dr. Diane Kapgen was asked by Clémentine Rasquin and Dominique Morel from SOS Faim Belgium, to consult on their development projects aiming to improve the conditions of life of small farmers through an agroecological approach. The consultancy with the NGO included a discussion on differences in the production systems of small farmers in the Sudano-Sahel region and the traditional knowledge of different “agroecological” agricultural techniques as well as on the horizontal diffusion of these techniques.
