Science for Better Shea - 24-26 Oct 2011, Ouagadougou

The INNOVKAR project studies management and use of the shea (Vitellaria paradoxa) resources in Africa. Focus is on threats to the natural resource, market constraints, improved quality in production, and new products. The project is a joint effort between partners from nine countries, coordinated by CIRAD and supported by the EU.

At this final INNOVKAR conference all new findings and their practical implications will be presented and discussed. Beside the official program there will be possibilities for informal discussions with scientists and presentation of posters.
