In the context of environmental and socio-economic changes, the agriculture of Sub-Saharan African countries will have to ensure food security of the population, while reducing its environmental footprint. The biophysical and social systems of agricultural production are complex. Innovative agricultural practices will be based on an intensification of ecological processes that determine the functioning of the soil-plant system, farmers' fields and agro-ecosystems. This ecological engineering approach is useful to take up the challenge of Sub-Saharan agricultures in the future, as shown in researches conducted by IESOL International Joint Lab "Intensification of agricultural soils in West Africa" (ISRA, UCAD, TU, OU, INERA, IRD).
在环境和社会经济变化的背景下，撒哈拉以南非洲国家的农业将必须确保民众的粮食安全，同时减少其对环境的影响。农业生产的生物物理和社会系统十分复杂。创新型农业实践将基于强化那些决定土壤 - 植物系统、农田和农业生态系统功能的生态过程。正如IESOL国际联合实验室“西非农业土壤强化”（ISRA、UCAD、TU、OU、INERA、IRD开展的研究所表明的那样，这种生态工程方法对于应对未来撒哈拉以南地区农业的挑战很有用。
