According to the organizers, this scientific seminar will constitute a space for debate and exchange bringing together researchers, agricultural advisors, development agents and professionals around a collective reflection on this theme with multidimensional and multidisciplinary scope.

The objective of this meeting, the same source specifies, is to focus the efforts of the different actors for better support of the projects selected within the framework of the “Generation Green 2020-2030” strategy.

The focus will be on the challenges of agroforestry associated with the management of natural resources and the mitigation of global warming, on the one hand, and the achievements of research in terms of the management of intercropping systems and agroforestry systems integrating livestock, on the other hand.

Agroforestry is a land use management system in which trees or shrubs are grown around or among crops or pastures. The system includes trees on farms and agricultural landscapes, farming in forests and along their edges, and planting grafted trees.

As natural forests are cleared for agriculture and other types of development, the benefits that trees provide are best preserved by integrating them into productive agricultural landscapes. This practice has a long history that goes back millennia.
