Agroecology in West Africa

Agroecology in West Africa is a way of growing food that focuses on taking care of the environment. It looks at how farming has an effect on ecosystems, such as soil, water, air, and the plants and animals that live there, and works to make sure those effects are positive. Agroecology also works to make sure the food produced is healthy and good for people to eat. To do this, farmers plant and feed the soil with organic things like animal and plant waste, compost, and crop rotation. They also look out for pests and use natural methods to get rid of them instead of chemicals. All of this work helps protect the environment and the people eating the food.
