The programme aims to teach basic, traditional ways of agriculture to those who have forgotten or never known a life on the land
In Benin, a poor country next to oil giant Nigeria, some 80% of its 11 million people depend on agriculture, according to the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization . They are part of a wider movement to encourage self-sufficiency on the continent, which has some two-thirds of the world’s remaining uncultivated arable land – but spends $64.5-billion a year importing food, according to the African Development Bank.
On the edge of the fields, a border hedge of moringa plants and grasses are grown to help stabilise the soil.Behind the scheme is the Gardens of Hope, an organisation promoting sustainable ways of farming. Originating from Africa and Europe, the 25 participants in this third agro-bootcamp are mostly men and of eight different nationalities but share a vision of an ecological and sustainable way of farming.“Our belief is that to solve the employment problem in our countries, young people must create their businesses with awareness of ecology of the climate,” said coordinator Tanguy Gnikobou.
