Participation au projet national de la République Togolaise: Potager Solidaire
A partir de fin Septembre 2020, le Centre Africain de Recherche et de Formation en Synécoculture (CARFS) commence à introduire la Synécoculture à un projet national au Togo: Potager Solidaire.
Le projet a pour objectif général de soulager le panier des ménages les plus démunis face à la COVID-19, par la création d’emplois à travers les potagers solidaires, avec le budget total de 2,7 million Euros en 3 ans.
Spécifiquement, il s’agit de :
- Construire 06 forages ;
- Nourrir 3 500 000 personnes d’une alimentation équilibrée et saine, sur la production de fruits et légumes issus de la Synécoculture, de l’élevage et la pisciculture sur une parcelle de 45 hectares.
- Créer 2 300 emplois directs et indirects avec la formation sur supports numériques.
Ce projet vise à contribuer aux 8 objectifs des ODD des Nations Unies:

Synecoculture™
Conventional agriculture largely focuses on increasing
productivity from a single crop, by plowing top soil, spreading
fertilizer, and applying pesticides based on the characteristics
of the crop. These practices damage ecosystems and
cause environmental problems. Sony Computer Science
Laboratories, Inc. (Sony CSL) is testing applications for
Synecoculture, a sustainable agricultural practice that
highly balances productivity and biodiversity. Synecoculture
eliminates the need for plowing, fertilizing, and pesticide use
that impact the environment, by taking maximum advantage
of the material cycling that occurs naturally in ecosystems,
aiming to create rich ecosystems with a diverse mix of plants
that coexist together and grow lushly. Synecoculture requires
vast knowledge of plant ecology, and for several years
Sony CSL has been conducting tests at a number of farms,
cultivating a blend of plants in order to collect data on plant
compatibility and soil conditions. Sony CSL is also using IT to
develop systems to support greater social ecological diversity
including Synecoculture. The Synecoculture project is directly
related to 11 out of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals
(SDGs) and is registered as a good corporate practice with
the Japan SDGs Action Platform promoted by the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs of Japan.
