    Les chocs climatiques exercent une pression sur les terres agricoles qui se manifeste par la surexploitation des terres et l’utilisation abusive d’intrants, ce qui accélère et aggrave leur dégradation (lessivage continu, érosion, transport des particules). La sécurisation foncière des communautés contribue au développement et à la promotion de l’agroécologie paysanne. Elle encourage l’investissement dans les terres agricoles (par des plantations d’arbres à des fins agroécologiques).

    L'Afrique n'est pas sur la bonne voie pour atteindre les cibles de l'objectif de développement durable (ODD) 2 visant à éliminer la faim et à assurer l'accès de tous à une alimentation saine, nutritive et suffisante tout au long de l'année, et à mettre fin à toutes les formes de malnutrition. Les estimations les plus récentes montrent que 281,6 millions de personnes sur le continent, soit plus d'un cinquième de la population, ont été confrontées à la faim en 2020, soit 46,3 millions de plus qu'en 2019.

    As of 2017, SGP has awarded over 3,800 small grants to land degradation projects in over 120 countries, many of which are in regions with extreme levels of poverty and food insecurity across Africa and Latin America. Africa, in particular, is experiencing the highest population growth of the developing world, while being exposed and vulnerable to the rising impact from climate change.

    Agriculture influences and shapes the world’s ecosystems, but not always in a positive way. More than 2.5 billion people are globally involved as stewards of land and water ecosystems that constitute the natural resource base for feeding the current and future world population. Yet, conventional agronomic interventions based on ‘hard’ agricultural engineering compromise various eco-services that are required for sustainable agricultural development.

    Inland valleys are defined as the upper reaches of river systems. These include valley bottoms and minor floodplains,their hydromorphic fringes and upland slopes and crests. These occupy 22-52 million ha of land in W. Africa and although of good agricultural potential are only marginally used. An agro-ecological characterization developed in the Cte d'Ivoire, is outlined on 4 levels: macro (1:1 000 000-1:5 000 000), reconnaissance (1:100 000-1:250 000), semi-detailed (1:25 000-1:50 000) and detailed (1:5000-10 000).
