The population of Mampatim lives essentially from rain-fed agriculture.
Due to climate change, with which the population and the regions are strongly confronted, agricultural production is significantly declining. Despite the diligent efforts of farmers in this sector, they often lack the necessary know-how. They are directly affected by food insecurity.
For this reason, in the project “Economic Empowerment for the Women in Casamance” in southern Senegal, women joined together and promoted agriculture with cereal and vegetable cultivation as well as small-scale trade.
