| description | For a long time, Nigerian gardening was a secondary production. It developed after the 1985-90 droughts in Niger and neighboring states of West Africa. In towns and in well-connected areas gardeners settled in growing urban markets. They managed to mix an old know-how to a new one brought by modern agronomy. A new job was born and the producers turned to modernity. They implement intensive practices. They grew local and exogenous species and varieties, the evolution of which is linked to demand and fashion. In Niger as well as in the other West African countries, cities and middle-sized towns have now a green belt of vegetables and fruit gardens that modify landscapes. |
