The Soil Carbon Network for Sustainable Agriculture in Africa is a platform that aims promoting agriculturale practices based on the optimal management of organic materials : Soil Carbon. CASA includes, in this context, several African research institutions and European which is convinced on the need to consider soil carbon. The network involves 21 research teams from 11 African countries and from France. Its vision is to promote sustainable increase of productivity and resilience, but also the mitigation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

Members' priorities

  • Replace the soil as the central support of production systems;
  • Show that the mere maintenance of soil carbon is essential, especially in arid and semi-arid areas;
  • Quantify the impact of management practices on carbon sequestration in the soil for various African soil and climatic conditions;
  • Promote research related to civil society and development agencies;
  • Facilitate access to research results to policy makers, to improve dissemination to civil society and farmers;
  • Strengthen the capacity of team expertise and training.

Funding

The network is funded by PARRAF
