Benin has a population of 6.0 million and covers an area of 112,622 sq. km. It is a long, narrow country, stretching from the Sahelian north to the Atlantic Ocean in the south. The north is dry and arid, whereas the south supports lush tropical vegetation. Poverty in Benin is widespread. GNP per Public Disclosure Authorized capita in 1998 was estimated at US$385 which is considerably below the Sub- Saharan Africa average of US$500. However, improved management and political stability has enabled Benin to maintain a 5 percent annual economic growth rate since 1991. 2. The CFA franc devaluation in 1994 restored competitiveness in regional and international markets and allowed higher CFA franc prices to be offered to producers. The economy of Benin is dependent on production of cotton, maize, yams, cassava, rice, fruits and beans. Cotton accounts for some 80 percent of exports (excluding re-exports). Recent years have seen an increase in exports of cotton and services related to transit trade.

In order to efficiently face this double bottleneck, agroecological interventions were implemented as a way to promote best agricultural practices. Agroecology is a mode of production that nowadays questions our food system which, despite technological progress, still struggles to feed the world’s population. This systematic review is part of the vision of a deep agroecology and aims at analyzing the institutional, political, organizational, and social obstacles and levers for an agroecological transition and its amplification in Burkina Faso and Benin.

In Africa, the agricultural sector is the main source of income for the majority of the population (OECD / FAO, 2016); with a large share of the population living in rural areas (Makinwa-Adebusoye, 1999). This sector contributes more than 35% of the GDP of the majority of the countries in Africa and employs more than 60% of assets (Guèye, 2006).
