Diets in West Africa: Diversification, Urbanization and Nutritional Challenges
Food consumption in West Africa has undergone profound transformations in recent years, such as the decline in self-production, greater reliance on the market, the growth of processed products and the multiplication of supply points.
Industrial hemp in Southern Africa, a growing sector
Industrial hemp cultivation is booming worldwide, although limited to a small area (barely 200,000 hectares). In southern Africa, it is in its infancy, with promising development prospects pending the construction of a solid value chain.
North Africa facing changes in global trade: what agricultural export strategies?
The recent rise in trade tensions on global markets, illustrated by the strengthening of tariff barriers in the United States, is a reminder of the complex challenges of a globalization in full restructuring.
