Farmers in Burkina Faso face many difficulties and have to adapt to global warming, drought and food crises. They learn new ways of farming, agro-ecological, and vary their productions. Thanks to various solutions, and with the support of Islands of Peace, they become able to bounce back in case of a hard blow : we talk about resilience.
