Strategy for setting up an agro-pastoral farm in Africa

Faced with worsening climatic conditions, the populations of rural areas in Africa are forced to make do or flee. Many of these climatic or economic exiles, young people in particular, attempt clandestine emigration, risking their lives in the process, to a Europe regarded as the ultimate refuge from misery. However, these rural areas are rich in resources and offer considerable potential for agro-pastoral development, as the soil is generally fertile and livestock is plentiful. As part of its agricultural policy, the Senegalese government is mobilizing all its administrative, technical and financial institutions to provide support for agricultural project developers. The aim is to boost national GDP while curbing rural poverty. The aim of this book is to provide readers with a comprehensive methodology, based on my personal experience and proven teaching expertise acquired at leading French universities, which will enable them to acquire the fundamental foundations for successful project implementation.
