After an impressive career, notably as director in Senegal of the international network APAF, Mansour Ndiaye is now devoting himself to his new venture. Afrique Verte et Fertile – Sénégal (AVF-Sn).
An agroforestry expert trained in Artemisia in 2019 at the House of Artemisia in Tivaouane, Mansour advocates family farming combining crops with fertilizer trees, fruit trees and medicinal plants.
Two new Houses of Artemisia, in the north and south of Senegal, are the result of this partnership.
The aim is to set up pilot Houses of Artemisia, in which Artemisia is cultivated in agroforestry, with fertilizer trees, other medicinal plants and food crops.
We are deeply motivated to join our two visions in this joint project in the current context of climate change and soil depletion!
Youssou Sarr, AFAFA coordinator, also wishes to initiate the cultivation of Artemisia with the women’s groups that he trains in agroecology.
