CALCIUM PHOSPHATE OF KOLDA REASONS TO INVEST? Phosphates have been the main mineral used in Senegal with a good contribution to the country's GDP. For example, the use of phosphates began in 1949 for aluminum Thiès. Besides this western part, there is a deposit in Matam in the north, some indices in the central region (Kaolack, Fatick, Diourbel, Louga, Kaffrine) and southern (Kolda and Ziguinchor). This paper aims to study the host country, its legal framework and geological order to justify the exploitation and utilization of calcium phosphate in Kolda.

The Return of Sanio Millet in Thee Sine : Rational Adaptation to Climate Evolution
Escape-P4-GB.qxp_Escape-MEP 21/10/2017 08:54 Page351 The return of Sanio millet in the Sine Chapter 18 The return of Sanio millet in the Sine Rational adaptation to climate evolution Bertrand MULLER, Richard LALOU, Patrice KOUAKOU, Mame Arame SOUMARÉ, Jérémy BOURGOIN, Séraphin DORÉGO, Bassirou SINE Introduction Sanio millet1 has reappeared in villages in the Sine, between Bambey, Diourbel and Fatick, since the mid-2000s. However, this long cycle millet had disappeared from farms in the northern half of Senegal in the 1970s because of the sudden decrease in rainfall. It was still present further south in the wetter regions of Saloum and beyond as far as the Casamance. As rainfall depths increased from the mid-1990s everywhere in Senegal (SALACK et al., 2011), we put forward the hypothesis that this return could form a robust agronomic ‘marker’ of recent pluviometric evolution in central-western Senegal and show the ability of farmers to adapt rapidly and independently—i.e. without the support of agronomic engineering2—to changes in their environment. However, although the climatic opportunity provided by the return of rainfall seems to be a necessary condition for the production of Sanio, it may not be enough to explain why Sanio is not chosen by all farmers, as it was in the past. Since the climate change theme has become an ordinary paradigm of science and public action, it has become commonplace to recognise that agriculture in Africa lacks financial and technological resources for adapting to climatic and environmental events (ADGER, 2006a and 2006b). But individual or collective adaptation is not new for African 1.
