dc.description.abstractMajor disruptions in rainfall experienced during the winter season 2007/2008, particularly characterized by a sudden cessation of rains in early September have caused a decrease of 16% and 11% of grain production, respectively, compared to the 2006 / 2007 and the average of the previous five seasons. This article is a synthesis of the issues of food security, initiated policies, and irrigation technologies to improve farmers’ adaptation capacities in Burkina Faso. A research-development project studies the practice of supplemental irrigation, its agronomic, climatic and socio-economic issues related to the mobilization of runoff.en
