The tripartite call for proposals Africa/Brazil/France “Fight against desertification in Africa” has been launched and about ten research projects will be supported in 2013. The targeted geographic regions are the African arid and semi-arid regions, especially the areas covered by the Great Green Wall (GGW). All the projects funded will be jointly implemented by scientists from Africa, Brazil and France.

L’appel tripartite réalisé par l’Afrique, le Brésil et la France sur le thème "Combattre la désertification en Afrique", a été lancé et concerne 10 projets de recherche qui seront mis en œuvre en 2013. Les régions ciblées sont les zones arides et semi-arides de l’Afrique, spécialement les aires couvertes la Grande Muraille Verte (GGW). Tous les projets financés seront conjointement mis en œuvre par les chercheurs africains, brésiliens et français.
Communities worldwide have begun adopting integrated landscape management approaches that work deliberately to support food production, ecosystem conservation and rural livelihoods across landscapes mosaics. While researchers working on landscape and ecosystem processes fully recognize the importance of crop intensification and crop researchers recognize the critical role of landscape and ecosystem processes in sustainable and resilient crop environments, there is still not a coherent research framework that links the two in ways that guide research priorities and strategy.

Comunidades en todo el mundo han comenzado a adoptar enfoques de gestión integrada del paisaje que trabajan deliberadamente para apoyar la producción de alimentos, conservación de los ecosistemas y los medios de subsistencia rurales a través de mosaicos de paisajes.
