“…In Togo, this is a lingering issue along the coast of the costal “Maritime” region. The total surface area of land used for growing vegetables in the suburbs of Lomé thus progressively shrank from 530 ha in 2002 to 160 ha in 2014 with the urban sprawl [ 56 ]. Cabbage pests (mammals, gastropods, nematodes, insects and pathogenic fungi and viruses) are responsible for substantial crop damage.…”

“…Besides the recurring problems caused by pests (insects, pathogenic nematodes, gastropods and rodents) and loose farm animals (goats, sheep), which feed directly on the plant, the main constraints are decreasing soil fertility, lack of workforce (for weeding, watering, transplanting), insufficient access to water, low sales or poor marketability, lack of arable land in urban areas, and land tenure and financial problems [7,42]. The impact of urbanisation on urban vegetable production is felt more or less everywhere in the West African subregion [54][55][56]. In Lomé, for example, vegetable farmers cultivate land plots wedged between dwellings and industrial infrastructures [56].…”

In urban and peri-urban areas in West Africa, the cabbage Brassica oleracea L. (Brassicaceae) is protected using repeated high doses of synthetic insecticides. After a brief description of available IPM components, this paper presents a literature review focused on the botanical extracts that have been experimented with at the laboratory or in the field in West Africa against major cabbage pests. The literature reviewed mentions 19 plant species from 12 families used for cabbage protection in the subregion. The species most used are Azadirachta indica, Capsicum frutescens, Ocimum gratissimum and Ricinus communis. An overview of the world literature showed that a total of 13 plant species belonging to 8 families used to control cabbage pests are reported from the rest of Africa, and 140 plant species belonging to 43 families from the rest of the world. The most commonly used and tested plant species against insect pests in the three geographical areas considered is A. indica.

Vegetable farming is an activity sensitive to the dynamism of the population and to the level of intensification in the use of soil resources. A study was conducted in the peri-urban zones of Yaoundé to present the socioeconomic characteristics of vegetable farming and the farmers' perception of soil and water degradation as a result of this activity. A semi-structured questionnaire was administered to this purpose in 2016 in two vegetable farming sites in Yaoundé, namely Nkolbisson and Nkolondom III. Results showed that most vegetable farmers from both sites (around 75%) lack training in agriculture while 74 and 90 didn't benefit from training on management of pesticides. Spreading and landfilling of amendments are the two most popular ways of applying fertilizers. In fact, while the majority (35.4%) of these fertilizers is applied at planting time, the minority (4.9%) is applied several months before planting. Besides young plots are more exploited (52.4% and 30%) compared to older ones (2.4% and 5%) in Nkolondom III and Nkolbisson respectively, as they are more responsive to fertilizer application. As consequence, high rates of fertilizers are applied to the oldest farms. As for irrigation water, it is altogether polluted. Base on the above, the farmers' perception of degradation is seen through the degradation of soils properties with time in the order of 14.3% to 60% and 15% to 44% at Nkolbisson and Nkolondom III respectively resulting in a gradual decrease of crop production (up to 50%). It is also seen through the polluted produce obtained from irrigation and cleaning water.

“…Face à cette réalité, le maraîchage péri-urbain comporte de nombreux avantages : accès à des produits frais périssables dans un contexte de manque d'infrastructures de transport ; réduction du nombre d'intermédiaires dans le circuit de commercialisation et donc amélioration du prix de vente pour les producteurs (De Bon et al, 2010). Cependant l'urbanisation diminue les surfaces agricoles (Kanda et al, 2017). Comment les maraîchers péri-urbains d'Afrique de l'Ouest s'adaptent-ils à cette double contrainte d'augmentation de la demande et de limitation des terres agricoles ?…”

L’Afrique subsaharienne est l’une des régions du monde où l’urbanisation est la plus rapide. Cette urbanisation entraîne une forte augmentation de la demande en produits maraîchers périssables. Elle offre ainsi de nouveaux marchés aux agriculteurs en périphérie des villes, tout en les contraignant d’un point de vue foncier du fait de l’étalement urbain. Dans la plaine de Djagblé, située au Togo en périphérie de Lomé, nous montrons comment les agriculteurs se sont adaptés à cette situation. Des enquêtes réalisées auprès de personnes ressources et de 65 agriculteurs dans 4 villages représentatifs de la plaine montrent l’évolution des systèmes agricoles, se spécialisant progressivement dans la culture d’un légume-feuille à cycle court, la corète potagère (Corchorus olitorius), mobilisant de façon croissante les intrants de synthèse. Ce maraîchage spécialisé intensif en intrants est favorisé par une mutation du tissu agricole, des femmes de travailleurs urbains de Lomé avec des statuts fonciers précaires devenant majoritaires devant les ménages agricoles villageois traditionnels. Des indicateurs de performances économiques, environnementales et sociales éclairent les stratégies de ces agriculteurs et agricultrices, tout en montrant les impacts de ce maraîchage sur le territoire. Nos résultats permettent d’identifier des leviers pour orienter cette agriculture vers davantage de durabilité.
