L’agriculture ouagalaise (Burkina Faso) comme modèle de contribution au métabolisme urbain : avantages et limites

Like many large African cities, Ouagadougou knows an increase of its cultivated areas. But they strongly depend on water and soil resources. How agriculture fits into and holds in the city ? What is its role ? In the framework of a research program, we took an interest in the relationship between th...
