Opportunity crops and farmer resilience during the off-season in peri-urban areas: Case of vegetable producers in Loumbila and the Green belt of Ouagadougou in Burkina Faso.
Kiebre Zakaria, Fofana Abdel Atchif Kaznadar, El Bilali Hamid, Nanema Jacques
Farmers in Sahelian countries rely on a rain-fed agriculture characterized by a long off-season. During the off-season, some producers in peri-urban areas engage in market gardening, including opportunity crops, as a resilience strategy. This study aims (i) to inventory the species cultivated by vegetable producers during the off-season in two(...)

Background: The Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) is a population suppression strategy that
involves releasing sterile male insects, which mate with wild females, thereby inducing sterility
in the target population. Although SIT represents a promising complementary approach for
malaria vector control, its success depends on identifying an irra(...)
