Au Burkina Faso, le faible niveau de développement social et économique et sa population à grande majorité rurale rendent le pays très dépendant des ressources naturelles. Pour se nourrir, se loger et s’épanouir, les ressources naturelles sont directement prélevées et les terres sont de plus en plus mises en culture sous la pression démographique au détriment des espaces naturels. En effet, les ressources naturelles constituent le support de la plupart des activités de production.

A model is proposed for the management of innovation in marginalized or depressed areas in three different countries, following the methodology of the Field Schools and taking advantage of the resources available in the region, work began with producers of areas with high marginalization and speakers of its original language, based on the fact that producers are subjects and not only beneficiaries, to say that, based on their decisions, they are the ones who cause the changes in their way of acting and producing, in such a way that in addition to the technological offer that allows access t
SOUTIEN À L’ADAPTATION AUX CHANGEMENTS CLIMATIQUES AU MALI On s’attend à ce que les changements climatiques provoquent de plus en plus d’événements extrêmes (sécheresses et inondations) au Mali, rendant la production de cultures et l’élevage plus difficiles pour les agriculteurs et réduisant ainsi la sécurité alimentaire et les revenus des plus pauvres du pays.
La FAO, en collaboration avec le ministère de l’agriculture du Gabon, a exécuté un projet d’intensification vivrière à travers la mécanisation agricole à Lébamba. En privilégiant l’approche Champs Ecoles Paysans (CEP), les populations regroupées en coopératives agricoles ont été formées sur les approches de l’agriculture durable, notamment à travers l’apprentissage de nouveaux itinéraires de culture. De plus, par l’utilisation des outils de mécanisation agricole, la pénibilité de leur travail est réduite et leur rendement est augmenté.
The farmer field school (FFS) concept has been widely adopted, and such schools have the reputation of strengthening farmers’ capacity to innovate. Although their impact has been studied widely, what is involved in their scaling and in their becoming an integral part of agricultural innovation systems has been studied much less. In the case of the Sustainable Tree Crops Programme in Cameroon, we investigate how a public–private partnership (PPP) did not lead to satisfactory widespread scaling in the cocoa innovation system.
An extension help farmers in their efforts to increase production and quality of their products in order to improve their welfare. Therefore, the extension has many roles, among others as a mentor farmer extension, organizer, coach technicians and a bridge between family farmers and research institutions in agriculture because of the existence of agricultural extension field is important for farmers. Extension activities in the desa Tanjung Gunung one of which was given to cocoa farmers.
According to the authors of this paper, actual methods of scaling are rather empirical and based on the premise of ‘find out what works in one place and do more of the same, in another place’. These methods thus would not sufficiently take into account complex realities beyond the concepts of innovation transfer, dissemination, diffusion and adoption. As a consequence, scaling initiatives often do not produce the desired effect.
