Strengthening the resilience of Benin's food system

By 2028, the government, with the support of partners, is committed to supporting sustainable and resilient agriculture in order to increase the production of food with high nutritional value. It will involve raising farmers' awareness of sustainable agricultural practices (agroforestry, cover cropping); support the adoption of climate-resilient technologies (e.g., drought-resistant seeds); promote the diversification of local crops, with an emphasis on products with high nutritional value; this commitment will be monitored by the food production index, which provides information on all agricultural production for food purposes in Benin; The annual monitoring of this indicator will be an opportunity to produce analyses on the evolution of the production of sectors with high nutritional values intended for the local market (vegetable production, legumes, fishing, meat and milk).
