By creating smaller jardins de case<\/strong> or “family gardens<\/strong>” in the villages, we as a Foundation want to help residents grow fruits and vegetables to optimize their food\u2019s nutritional value and quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Project<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

From August 2019 – the start of the project – to December 2022, we have established 200 vegetable gardens. Those gardens are close to the houses and have an area of about 25 m\u00b2 (5 x 5 meters).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Objectives<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the jardins de case project, we want to address the region\u2019s lack of fruits and vegetables, contributing to a balanced and healthy diet for residents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Project Description<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In each village we select some inhabitants with a small piece of land (about 25 m\u00b2) who are motivated to build and cultivate a garden. The number of gardens per village varies from two to thirteen, depending on interest and availability of land. Our agronomists give them seeds to get started and teach them how to grow local vegetables, and process and preserve them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our agronomists regularly go on site, follow them closely and advise them to achieve even better results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Results and Evolution<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The construction of the jardins de case went smoothly and the owners were highly motivated. The gardens not only provided them with fresh fruits and vegetables, but they also had the opportunity to learn about processing, preserving, preparing and even selling the harvest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In total, we were able to plant 200 gardens. Mainly vegetables are grown including tomato, bell pepper, okra, amaranth, and crin-crin. Banana plants were also produced in several gardens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the project was contagious: the first selected residents shared their experiences and seeds with others, contributing to social cohesion in their community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three years after the project began, 120 of the 200 jardins de case constructed are still in use. The others were abandoned due to other demanding activities such as harvesting cashew nuts and cassava and – above all – due to lack of water. Suppose they want to grow vegetables during the dry season. In that case, they must move their horticultural activities to bas-fonds or deeper soils.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If we want to expand the jardins de case project in Benin, there must be a better water supply in the villages so that the gardens can be worked even in the dry season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Justin Baguiri<\/strong>, a self-employed farmer, has already completed several training courses at the Foundation. He learned how to grow rice and how to set up a small banana plantation. He bought some banana cuttings and started to work on them himself. Fortunately, he was able to count on the continuous support of the Foundation's staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, the banana trees are fully grown and he can sell part of his harvest. With this money, he pays for his family's medical care and his children's school fees. The banana plantation means financial and material progress for him and his family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Justin Baguiri thanks the Foundation for the training and assistance. He hopes that we can help him even more with the construction of an irrigation system. With better irrigation, he could make his plantation even more productive. Find out more about Justin in the video that our Benin communication officer made about him.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Justin Baguiri, proud owner of a small banana plantation","post_excerpt":"Justin Baguiri, a self-employed farmer, has already completed several training courses at the Foundation.
