In addition to discussions with farmers and representatives of local extension services, direct observations of biodiversity were carried out, with a focus on species diversity and key ecological features.
The combination of scientific, technical and local knwoledge allowed a better understanding and an evaluation of the biodiversity dynamics within the LL.
Day 3: April 08, 2026 Re-assessement workshop : INGC, Bousalem
The re-assessemnt workshop was conducted within the joint T4.6- T2.4 activities. This workshop involved farmers, INGC, researchers, members from the Regional Commissariat for Agricultural Development (CRDA) and extension agents to interpret and assess the results generated from the different activities of the project around three AEPs : no-till sowing, intercropping and forage mixture. The results of the experiments, modeling, and Fuzzy causal map were presented in a clear and explicit manner. The effective discussions around these results enabled meaningful and relevant interpretations.
