The Bey Diiwaan Yi project aims to strengthen sustainable food systems in Senegal by scaling territorial approaches to agroecology across three key regions: Petite Côte, Saloum, and Casamance. Each territory faces distinct challenges—from urbanization pressures and rain-fed agriculture to preserving traditional farming practices—yet all share a common goal: enhancing resilience, food sovereignty, and social equity. By fostering inclusive governance, supporting agroecological innovations, and connecting producers to local markets, the project mobilizes diverse actors to co-design solutions that address local needs while building pathways for broader systemic change.
