DocumentRestauration de la production de fruits et de legumes pour les agriculteurs de Swaziland- TCP/SWA/3501 2017Au cours de la dernière décennie, les faibles précipitations et la menace persistante du changement climatique ont généré une insécurité alimentaire affectant 21 pourcent du Swaziland, avec la quasi-totalité de la population ne mangeant pas suffisamment de fruits et de légumes. Les agriculteurs ruraux qui ont une connaissance limitée de la façon de maximiser la productivité de leurs terres et de s’assurer qu’elles répondent à leurs besoins alimentaires et nutritionnels, doivent améliorer d’urgence la diversité des cultures pour assurer la sécurité alimentaire et leurs besoins alimentaires. Parallèlement, la valeur des produits agricoles importés a dépassé cinq fois celle des exportations entre 2005 et 2013. Ces facteurs exigent de promouvoir des pratiques agricoles respectueuses du climat et de renforcer la résilience et d’accroître les revenus que les agriculteurs tirent de l’agriculture.

No results found.Agriculture has traditionally been the backbone of Swaziland’s economy but has experienced severe decline. Its contribution to GDP has decreased gradually over the last two decades due to a number of factors, including recurring drought, chronic underinvestment and the impact of HIV and AIDS. Despite this, agriculture-based products account for around 75 percent of the country’s total export revenues. With key extension officers lacking the skills to disseminate nutrition and gender-sensitive agricultural technologies and practices, the project sought to strengthen national capacities through the establishment of Farmer Field Schools, with farmer representatives trained as facilitators in order to support on-the-ground activities using this approach. -
