SOS, the soils are running out! Global agriculture today applies six times more chemical fertilizers than in the 1960s. Africa is the continent that uses the least, and yet... in Benin, for example, 62% of land is degraded, hence the national shift towards agroecology, with a road map deployed until 2030. Objective: reduce or eliminate synthetic inputs to preserve long-term yields. In Ouidah, Lidwine and Jaurès anticipated the call. This couple of agricultural engineers work in cooperation with nature. Their motto: close your eyes and eat!
