Abstract:
CLI is an climatesmart
alternative indicated as such by several research work across the World and West
Africa in particular. It is seen as a way of sustainable production accessible even to small farmers in the
perspective to diversify their productions and reduce their vulnerability to climate change (Ryschawy et
al., 2017; Alary et al., 2017; Vall et al., 2017). Nevertheless, Such mixedfarming
system is underdocumented
in Burkina Faso with little information on its effectiveness and role in boosting farm
productivity. This brief assess its effectiveness and implication in water productivity across three climatic
zones of Burkina Faso. Based on the low performance revealed in each zone and from the positive
implication for water productivity, it is important to act and make CLI one of the priority of agricultural
policies of the country.
