Agroecology, A Therapy for African Agriculture in the Face of Climate Change
Cheick Oumar Kangama
ABSTRACT
It is necessary to review the impact of man on the environment due to soil exhaustion. Intensive agriculture is a dead end because it kills soil biology. We may wonder what solutions can be found for harmonious optimization of the soil/plant system.
Agroecology is therefore a mode of agricultural development which aims to optimize production while maintaining the balance of the farm with its natural environment, but also economic and social.
Agriculture is one of the only human activities capable, along with forestry and aquaculture, of fixing carbon. Agroecology, like many peasant agricultures practiced throughout the world, makes it possible to respond to the problems of mitigation and adaptation of agriculture by reducing the use of fossil fuels.
