Ecology

Planet Farmers, who are we?


A SOCIAL ENTERPRISE WITH A PROGRAM DEDICATED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF ECOLOGICAL TRANSITIONS

Towards a new farming approach

Today we work in Togo with small farmers  experimenting  alternatives  to fight against poverty, boost the rural economy and make life in the village more attractive.


The introduction of agroecology in Africa is a primary challenge to be met in order to counter the effects of climate change, to preserve health by eliminating the use of herbicides and pesticides and to ensure genuine sustainable development.

To improve soils and restore biodiversity

Like many countries, Togolese farmers practice monoculture: one plant grown at a time and bare soil between two seasons. Here and elsewhere, this practice depletes the soil, weakens biodiversity and disrupts the flow of water. In response, farmers are turning to chemical inputs creating the situation we know. ECHOPPE asked Roland Bunch, an international consultant specializing in cover crops and green manures, to experiment and develop these practices in Togo.

To achieve this we need:

To support small farmers

Practicing agroecology to increase agricultural production and adapt to climate change will limit the exodus to the city by improving living conditions in rural areas.

To support women entrepreneurs

Strengthen and energize the activity of thousands of women food vendors in the city in processing and distributing local agricultural products.

To create a direct link

Facilitate the direct relationship between small farmers and urban women to generate an economy of solidarity that acts against poverty.
