ConclusionAgricultural Production Systems developed by the NGO ENDA is the basis of National Agricultural Policy called « Senegal agricole »

Senegal is in Sahel region and present the same climatic realities with other countries of the same area.

Could these adaptation alternatives implemented in Senegal, be applicated in other sahelian countries to contribute to food security and sustainable development?
