Fruit diversification in Guadeloupe
The Caribfruits website, which was created in 2004, is entirely devoted to tropical fruit crops. It provides Internauts with general information about the main fruit species grown in the French overseas regions, but also touches upon all cultural aspects (How and where to plant, What is this pest?, etc.). The Caribfruits site totals over 174,021 hits per year.
Peri-urban farming
This website, which was initially dedicated to the workshop on “Farming and urban development in West and central Africa” held in Yaounde in 2005 in connection with the FSP project "Promotion of an urban and peri-urban agriculture in West and central Africa” between 2004 and 2006, now provides visitors with news about urban and peri-urban farming.
DEVAG
Site of the DEVAG project, the Caribbean network for the development of agroecological horticultural systems.
DIVECOSYS
DIVECOSYS, ecological management of pests and diseases in agriculture for a sustainable and diversified Africa.
BIONETAGRO
The original idea of the BioNetAgro project is to develop the use of insect-proof nets with small market gardeners in Benin and Kenya. This simple, effective and sustainable technique is adapted to each crop depending on local climate conditions. When integrated into an agroecological approach, this technique helps to reduce or remove the need for pesticides, improve production and increase the efficiency of irrigation. This project, funded by USAID and CIRAD, is based on a South/North & Public/Private multiple partnership, on multidisciplinary teams and on contrasting agroclimatic situations.
