In 1981, the Australian Tony Rinaudo, a young agronomist, arrived in Niger to fight against the growing extension of the desert and the misery of the population and discovered the ravages of intensive agriculture inherited from the colonial era. He then notices under this ground considered as dead, an immense network of roots. A discovery that will be at the origin of an unprecedented greening policy, giving hope to an entire population. This approach has been so successful that it has been applied in at least 24 African countries, sustaining thousands of farmers.
