Nutrition gardens in Burkina Faso – a green solution for rural food security

In the Sahel region, the cultivation of moringa and baobab trees can help improve the nutritional status of the population while reversing desertification. The Burkinabé Institute for Health Sciences Research (IRSS) is collaborating with the Great Green Wall Initiative (GGWI) by promoting the joint production of these plants in so-called nutri-gardens. Our team of authors analysed the establishment and maintenance of these gardens in the context of the NutriGreen project.
