Catch the Rain, Grow with the Grain! The Demi-lune (half-moon) technology is a simple land restoration method used mainly in arid and semi-arid regions. By digging semi-circular pits to capture rainwater and restore soil fertility, it tackles land degradation, water scarcity, and low productivity. First used in Burkina Faso in the 1980s, it has spread to Niger, Mali, Chad, and Senegal. Suitable for millet, sorghum, and legumes, it boosts yields and soil health, helps farmers adapt to climate change, and supports SDGs like No Poverty and Climate Action.
Zaï pits are a traditional water-harvesting technique used in the Sahel to combat low rainfall, soil degradation, and poor soil fertility. By digging small pits that trap rainwater and organic matter, farmers can improve moisture retention, nutrient availability, and crop yields by 60–90%. This cost-effective method enables the rehabilitation of degraded lands and enhances the resilience of millet and sorghum crops. When combined with other soil and water conservation techniques, Zaï pits significantly contribute to sustainable dryland agriculture.
Excellent natural protection for a wide range of crops, manufactured in France Yukon is an innovative, sustainable fungicide designed to prevent and manage fungal and bacterial diseases in crops. It combines tribasic copper sulfate in its brochantite form, which gradually releases copper ions for consistent and persistent action, with Xanthane, a natural adjuvant derived from fermentation, ensuring excellent leaf coverage and rainfastness. This advanced formulation works at the cellular level to inhibit fungal development stages, including spore germination and mycelium growth, while also limiting bacterial growth. Yukon minimizes environmental impact by using less copper per hectare and is compatible with organic farming practices. Widely adopted in European agriculture, it enhances crop quality and yield, promotes resistance management, and supports eco-friendly farming practices, making it a valuable tool for sustainable agricultural development.
MahuWévi, the solution for aquaculture that sustainably feeds The MahuWévi is an advanced oxygenation system designed for sustainable fish farming in sub-Saharan Africa, particularly for tilapia. It provides efficient, low-cost oxygen enrichment, ensuring high dissolved oxygen levels through short, regular micro-injections, while operating with minimal energy use. This technology reduces water demand by 50%, lowers nitrogen and phosphorus runoff, and enhances water recycling for crop irrigation, supporting a circular economy. Adaptable to various users, MahuWévi boosts profitability (with an ROI of 30%) and aligns with key SDGs by promoting food security, environmental sustainability, and economic opportunities for youth and women in aquaculture.
