Brief me

In West Africa, many organisations had interventions on sustainable agriculture, but each one was working in isolation. In 2015, the JAFOWA program was born, whereby several organisations, foundations and NGOs decided to join forces to support Farmers' organisations to work towards sustainable agriculture by adopting agroecological practices. This video highlights this collaboration among the various stakeholders and the results that it brought on the ground.
