As part of the GALILEO EU-AU project project (2025-2028), funded by the EU through Horizon Europe (β¬6.1M), researchers are working on innovative agroforestry systems that integrate trees, crops, and livestock to enhance rural communitiesβ resilience to climate change in Africa.
During a visit to Senegal, INRAE – coordinator of DigitAF – visited an agroecological farm applying these principles in real-world conditions. This was an opportunity to observe interactions between trees and crops in agroforestry and to discuss with the farmer about the social conditions related to land tenure necessary for agroforestry adoption. In this project, researchers plan to adapt the ππ’-π¬ππ

These studies contribute to a deeper understanding of tree-crop interactions allowing to assess adaptation of innovative agroforestry systems to climate change, paving the way for more sustainable and resilient agricultural systems.
