Copy Link
Name (native language): SFB 308 Standortgerechte Landwirtschaft in West Afrika
Coordinating organisation: Centre for Agriculture in the Tropics and Subtropics
Description: With the completion of the Special Research Program 308 on Adapted Farming in West Africa the time has come to sum up the experiences of 15 years of agricultural research. This research program, carried out by scientists from the University of Hohenheim, played a particular role in the context of agricultural research systems in West Africa. With a funding provided upon review of results and application over five phases of three years each, short-term research plans had to be drawn up with a long term perspective. Inter-institutional collaboration with international as well as national partners required fine tuning and an accommodation of plans to fit and complement existing efforts and priorities of the existing research institutions. Interdisciplinary approaches generated synergy effects.
