Background

I hold a Master degree in Management of Natural Resources from the University of Abomey Calavi (Benin). Since 2013, I have been involved in research project focusing on Jatropha curcas domestication for supporting smallholders in agricultural diversification, an approach necessary to mitigate effects of climatic variability. My work aimed at analyzing determinative factors of seeds germination, seedlings establishment and growth of three promising J. curcas accessions in plantation.
