Promotie: The biomass challenge: a systems approach to analyze biomass production and flows in the semi-arid zone of Burkina Faso
GGC (Gildas) Assogba: The overall objective of my PHD was to improve food security in semi-arid Burkina Faso through better crop and livestock integration and production. To reach my objective, I developed with farmers several co-learning and co-design tools including: farm monitoring forms, serious games and models. The combination of these tools allowed a participatory description and exploration of the farming system. I showed that the current farming system management was only optimal to guarantee short-term food security considering farmers’ livelihoods and resources (e.g. cropland and grazing areas) available in their environment.
