Abstract
The deterioration of the rural landscape in the Sahel region in general has worsened
in the last decades, endangering local populations.
• The creation of Sahelian bocage, or live fence perimeters, in this rural landscape
is a way to remedy the problems linked to extensive agriculture and degradation
of natural capital.
• The concept is based on the creation of bocage perimeters in a mixed regime for
enhancing agricultural productivity, increasing fodder and fuel wood availability.
• The tree-based farming technique adopted in the Sahel helps farmers cope with
climate change.
