New subject: [Sarnissa-french-aquaculture] [{SPAM?} score 10.4] Re : [Traduction] Projet UE

3 Sep 2009

      Bonjour à tous,

Suite à mes messages sur l'appel d'offre Afrique de l'UE, je ne sais  
pas si certains de vous ont avancé dans leur idée de concevoir un  
projet.

Voici en tout cas la traduction d'un message d'Anton Immink, de  
l'Université de Stirling, susceptible de vous intéresser.

Bien amicalement

Lionel

Chers membres,

Nous sommes intéressés par l'appel à projet UE sur l'agriculture  
durable en Afrique, en lien avec la gestion de l'eau et des sols. Nous  
essayons d'identifier des pays Africains éligibles, qui offrent de  
bons exemples d'approches intégrées de la gestion des ressources  
hydriques, incluant peut-être de l'irrigation à grande ou petite  
échelle, des productions végétales intensives, du riz et de la gestion  
d'eaux usées urbaines. A ce stade, nous n'avons pas d'idée finalisée  
sur le projet ou sur la liste de pays susceptibles de présenter des  
systèmes éligibles à grande échelle. Si nous pouvions approfondir et  
partager nos idées avec des membres de la liste, peut-être pourrions  
nous monter un projet ensemble. Tout projet doit faire appel à des  
organisations de grande taille qui travaillent sur l'agriculture de  
manière globale, et où les systèmes aquacoles ne seraient qu'une  
petite composante, mais critique.

Amitiés

Anton

Dear members
We are interested in an EU call relating to agriculture  
sustainability in Africa, particularly in relation to the management  
of water and soils. We are trying to identify suitable African  
countries with good examples of integrated watershed management  
approaches, perhaps including large and small-scale irrigation,  
intensive vegetable production, rice and urban/waste water use. At  
present we do not have a finalised project idea, or even a list of  
countries that would have suitable systems on a larger scale. If we  
can develop those ideas with anyone on the list then we may be able  
to develop a project together. Any project is likely to require  
larger organisations working on agriculture more broadly, so I think  
the 'aquaculture systems' component will be quite small, but critical.
Regards
Anton

Call: FP7-AFRICA-2010: Sustainable water resources management and  
Soil fertility
conservation for food production in Africa - SICA (Africa)
Inappropriate management of irrigation water contributes to erosion  
of top soil, loss of organic matter, salinisation, decrease of soil  
fertility and pollution of ground and surface fresh waters. Research  
efforts are necessary to allow a more sustainable exploitation of  
water and soils by African farmers, and support the increasing  
demand for locally produced food. More sustainable food production  
strategies and techniques for irrigated farms need to be studied,  
developed and implemented, which can revitalise the natural  
regenerative capacities of agricultural soils, reduce fresh water  
pollution and ensure healthy and resilient environments.  
Methodologies, devices and indicators, adapted to specific African  
situations, will be developed for monitoring and assess risk factors  
for soil health and fertility, as well as for safe fresh water  
resources, in irrigated areas. Adapted innovative techniques to  
improve WRM and keep soil fertility at farm level need to be  
investigated and field-tested. The prevailing technical/scientific  
part of the project should be complemented by a true participatory  
approach by involving local stakeholders at different levels, such  
as farmers, local NGOs, relevant governmental organisations, as to  
make better and suitable use of existing potentialities and local  
knowledge, as well as to facilitate an easier implementation/ 
adoption of the project's selected strategies. Studies on social  
processes and farmers’ rationales for implementing, adapting,  
innovating or rejecting the proposed strategies, should also be part  
of the project activities, as to ensure their acceptability by the  
end users (farmers and policymakers) and thus producing the expected  
impact.
With the aim of increasing research capacities in the participating  
African countries, the project should include tailored training  
activities, such as the organisation of training programmes in loco  
and exchanges of researchers.
Expected impact: Effective soil and water management strategies will  
allow African farmers to produce sufficient food crops and achieve  
sustainable use of irrigation water, conservation of soil fertility  
and reduction of fresh water reserves pollution. Wise use of water  
resources at farm level, coupled with adequate soil management  
practices, will help slowing down, and eventually stop, loss of soil  
fertility and counteract decline and pollution of natural resources.
