The SYMFONIO project supplies organic fonio from Burkina Faso and the Sahel region. The aim of SYMFONIO is, to provide farmers with enough yield for their own use and a surplus for export, through the production of nutritious crops. The cultivation of fonio counteracts desertification and erosion and can even make desert soil fertile again. SYMFONIO works with a cooperative of women in the Bobo Dioulasso region. It gives the women a life of their own, promotes organic farming and healthy food, improves the climate and preserves the environment. SYMFONIO helps to increase productivity through a better organic practice. This creates a trade product with opportunities for export and a better income locally.
