[EBOOK] Senegal Gardening Manual

Agriculture in Senegal
 

Gardening in Senegal

Gardeners in every corner of Senegal grow a variety of vegetables for use in the lunch bowl, raw salads, and a variety other dishes. On a local level, production takes place in small scale market gardens for sale in local markets, and in small home-gardens for personal consumption. Most people engage in some kind of agricultural activity, or have farmers or gardeners in the immediate family. However, almost 80% of the vegetables grown in Senegal are produced on a narrow strip of land between Dakar and Saint-Louis known as the Niayes. The food is then shipped east, loosing freshness, and quality with each stop. With the exception of a relatively few, large-scale industrial agricultural operations, the vast majority of gardening activities employ manual labor and rely on relatively underdeveloped techniques and practices. As a Peace Corps volunteer working in agrarian communities, you will be able to use gardening to extend a wide variety of best practices no matter what your sector. From basic agricultural extension to health and nutrition education, to small-scale economic development, everything always comes back to food.
