Le Niger compte aujourd’hui 85 aménagements hydro-agricoles (AHA). Avec la pression démographique et la raréfaction des ressources naturelles disponibles pour l’activité agricole, l’informalité de la gestion du foncier des AHA et du statut des personnes qui les exploitent est devenue problématique.
Il Monitoring Institute for Rare Breeds and Seeds in Europe ha pubblicato lo studio "Risorse genetiche agrarie in Italia". In oltre 200 pagine la ricerca illustra la situazione delle risorse genetiche di animali da allevamento e piante coltivate in Italia.
