No results found.Climate change is one of the biggest challenges the world must meet today and in the future. Prolonged droughts and desertification are among the issues faced by many countries, especially in Africa and Asia, where the rural poor and smallholders are most heavily affected. If people are to survive in these ever harsher conditions, their crops need to withstand drought, high temperatures and poor soils. Cactus crops are gaining increasing interest across the globe, in particular cactus pear (Opun tia ficus− indica), because of its unique characteristics which provide resilience to the above mentioned harsh conditions. Cactus pear is able to grow on land where no other crops are able to grow; it can be used to restore degraded land and in many countries, such as Ethiopia, it is the only crop that can be relied on when everything else fails. The crop originates in Mexico – still the largest producing and consuming country in the world – but other countries, including Morocco, Ethiopia, Sou th Africa, Kenya, India and Pakistan, are increasing their production and use. -
Book (stand-alone)Ecologie, culture et utilisations du figuier de barbarie 2018Les cultures de cactus bénéficient d’une attention croissante à travers le globe, en particulier le figuier de Barbarie (Opuntia ficus-indica), grâce à leurs caractéristiques uniques leurs conférant de la résilience aux conditions extrêmes mentionnées ci-dessus. Le figuier de barbarie est capable de pousser sur des terres où aucune autre culture n’est capable de croître ; il peut être utilisé pour restaurer des sols dégradés et constitue dans de nombreux pays, comme l’Ethiopie, l’unique culture sur laquelle on peut compter lorsque toutes les autres sont vouées à l’échec. Cette culture vient du Mexique - aujourd’hui encore le plus grand producteur et consommateur dans le monde - mais d’autres pays, dont le Maroc, l’Ethiopie, l’Afrique du Sud, le Kenya, l’Inde et le Pakistan, en augmentent la production et en diversifient les utilisations. La première édition de ce livre, Agroecology, cultivation and uses of cactus pear, a été publiée en 1995. Durant les 20 dernières années les connaissances sur le figuier de barbarie se sont développées et cela est reflété par cette édition 2017 largement révisée.
