dc.descriptionThis country factsheet highlights the importance of the relationship between soil management with nutrition aspects in Burkina Faso. The adoption of sustainable soil management practices, such as intercropping and organic matter additions, in combination with micronutrient application contributing to a better nutritional status of the population. The country fact sheet is the result of a review of scientific references and from field trials and demonstration sites developed under the Sustainable Soil Management for Nutrition-Sensitive Agriculture in Sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia project, funded by the German Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture. The project analyzed the links between soil properties and plant micronutrient content in cropping areas in Bangladesh, and tested the effectiveness of sustainable soil management practices in increasing the micronutrient content of food. A long-term plan is recommended to obtain additional information about the relationship between soil health and the quality of locally produced food. In the same way, through capacities developed locally, in rural communities, a major participation is expected.
