Description
Conducted in partnership by Fert and Afdi Touraine is being implemented simultaneously in two regions of Morocco and two in Mali. It has four focuses: design and construction of a “direct-seed” sower adapted to animal traction and light mechanisation, support for the structuring of groups of producers aimed at dissemination, acquisition of agro-economic references in conservation agriculture, and, finally, evaluation, capitalisation and dissemination of results.
In 2013, funding for the action came to an end in Mali. Then in Morocco in 2016.
