Vision
Our team aims to work on food security issues in Africa where undernourishment has reached 20% in 2017. In most cases this situation emerges from the lack of physical, social or economic access to sufficient food. To ensure food security several leverages might be employed such as the right to food, food availability, food’s nutritional value and market accessibility. Our vision is to improve humans livelyhood and empowerment through agriculture. Therefore we believe in a global approach of agriculture that includes socio-economical and historical study to complement an agronomical analysis.
