Synecoculture is an alternative for agriculture that respects the preservation of the environment and the reconstruction of biodiversity. It is a synthesis between humans and nature, which also converges to the ultimate challenge of organic farming and conservation agriculture. Synecoculture suppresses tillage and does not use fertilizers or pesticides. In a context of reduced arable land, desert growth, climate change and growing population pressure, this method of production in the Sahel countries is a strong expectation as a panacea for sustainable development. AFIDRA with the support of the Japanese researcher Masatoshi Funabashi, the financial support of Sony CSL and the online technical and software support of UniTwin UNESCO CS-DC, held the first African forum on synecoculture in the city of Fada N' Gourma, Burkina Faso, for the dissemination of this new cropping method for experimentation at the African scale. The meeting was held under the theme: "Synecoculture for sustainable, economic and ecological agriculture". This meeting brought together participants from Cameroon, Benin, Togo, Sierra Leone, Niger, Mali, Tunisia, Belgium, France, Japan, the United States and several regions of Burkina Faso, which allowed interactive exchanges of their experiences, and to propose the right strategy to popularize this technology. The objective of the organization of this first African forum was to raise awareness and responsibility for our way of production, aiming to create a framework of exchanges around the synecoculture. That is why AFIDRA devoted three days of reflection and exchange around this new technology as an NGO with particular focus on self-managed rural development. The motivation was to sensitize public and private actors of civil society, and strengthen institutional coordinations between local and regional authorities at the African level on the importance of the practice of agriculture that reconstructs ecosystems, while at the same time giving a critical analysis on the current cultural practices in the countries of the Sahel. This meeting of Fada N'Gourma made it possible to identify the major challenges and the prospects for the integration of syecoculture in the situations of African agriculture. The presentations made by the Japanese expert and the field trip on the site of the new farm of synecoculture near Fada N’Gourma called for the foundation of the African Center of Research and Training in Synecoculture (CARFS), which will elaborate the bases of the theoretical concepts and practices necessary for the development of synecoculture in Africa. For the part of the presentations on current agricultural practices (the limitations, constraints, perspectives and recommendations for the integration and practice of synecoculture), the work took place in plenary and the lectures have been ensured by agricultural experts in Burkina Faso with high level of practice and research. The meeting resulted in a declaration with a commitment to defend the right of biodiversity, which was widely accepted by the participants.
