Abstract
L’agriculture dans la région des Grands Lacs a longtemps pâti de l’insécurité, de la dégradation de l’environnement et du manque d’investissement. La plupart des Congolais, Burundais et Rwandais sont démunis de tout et l’insécurité alimentaire y règne en maitre. Il était primordial de mettre en place des stratégies d’intensifi cation agricole et de sécurité alimentaire durables.

Abstract
The plant species that humans rely upon have an extended family of wild counterparts that are an important source of genetic diversity used to breed productive crops. These wild and weedy cousins are valuable as a resource for adapting our food, forage, industrial and other crops to climate change. Many wild plant species are also directly used, especially for revegetation,…
