This is a story about how FAO assisted groups of farmers in five farming
communities in the moist savanna zone of South Western Burkina Faso to
enhance their crop-livestock systems through Conservation Agriculture (CA)
practices, including crop diversification, using an innovative farmer
discovery process, to bring about agricultural intensification and
improvement in livelihoods. FAO worked with a range of stakeholders
including the farmers and their communities to create convergence and
enable a farmer-based discovery process to experiment with a set of
fundamentally new principles and elements in their farming practices for
integrated crop-livestock production intensification. The positive
outcomes offer a real promise and an opportunity for bringing about a
large scale impact on agricultural productivity and livelihoods in the
moist savanna zone West Africa. This publication describes the
multi-stakeholder process which led the successful outcomes, and the
opportunity for a greater change that now exists and should be harnessed
for sustainable agriculture development, nationally and regionally.
