Ecuador

March 5 -April 5, 2024

In the temperate tropical climate of Ecuador, a multitude of landscapes shelter ecosystems of unique richness in the world. However, affected by the expansion of intensive agriculture, the country is experiencing the highest rate of deforestation in the world, which would lead without change to the disappearance of primary forest by 2070.

But indigenous populations have managed to preserve their ancestral knowledge. This is particularly the case of the Kichwa communities, who continue to practice remarkable agroforestry techniques, called “Chakras”, both in the Andean and Amazonian regions. There are as many Chakras as there are communities, because they cultivate local varieties.

Galapagos Islands

Galapagos Islands

April 6-May 6, 2024

The Galapagos Islands are one of the most precious cradles of biodiversity. These islands notably attracted the famous scientist Charles Darwin, and became a UNESCO world heritage site in 1978.

We would like to study the fundamental role that wetland agricultural systems can play in the conservation of biodiversity, the management of invasive species and the food autonomy of these islands. Transforming intensive agrarian systems is essential to preserve this unique terrestrial and maritime natural heritage. These island territories are particularly vulnerable to increased tourist numbers and climate change.

Peru

May 2 - August 30, 2024

Due to Peru's geography, the country's agricultural area is far from significant, since it only covers 2% of the country's surface area. And yet, the export of agricultural products is today the 3rd most important economic sector in the country, causing increased pressure on biodiversity reserves. Developing a sustainable mode of agriculture on these lands is therefore a vital issue for local communities.

Climate change, soil depletion and loss of biodiversity are factors threatening local agricultural production. We wish to highlight the selection of specific varieties adapted to new production methods, and more specifically in the cocoa sector. We seek to reconstruct the stages of setting up agroforestry systems on degraded lands.
