Agroecological market-garden cropping systems based on a diversity of crop species and the use of organic inputs help to improve producers' incomes while protecting their health and that of their environment.
But the complexity of agro-ecological systems compared with conventional systems requires dialogue between researchers and pilot growers to identify and adapt effective, sustainable solutions. Theoretical and practical training for trainers is also essential to explain how the various ecosystem services work and how best to exploit them, taking into account local constraints.
The Marigo project, led by CIRAD, is actively involved in research, training and the creation of multi-stakeholder platforms in each of the regions where it operates, in order to share diagnoses of the market gardening sector and work together to develop solutions that address local issues. The introduction of participatory guarantee systems based on consultation and mutualism between players should be able to meet consumer demand for quality vegetables.
The Marigo project is funded by the European Union as part of the DeSIRA programme.
