COULIBALY SALAMATA ELISABETH
BÄUERIN AUS TAGA, BURKINA FASO
Wenn ich mehr Land hätte, würde ich Bienen züchten.
"Wenn ich meinen Beruf wechseln müsste, würde ich Geflügelzüchterin werden", sagt Coulibaly Salamata Elisabeth. "Der Anbau von Cashew-Nüssen hat aber eine vielversprechende Zukunft.” Der Bäuerin macht es Spass, ihre Bäume zu pflegen und Felder zu pflügen, wie sie sagt. “Ich hätte allerdings gerne Hilfe, um meine Flächen mit möglichst vielen Kulturen anzureichern. Dann würde ich zum Beispiel Mangobäume pflanzen und meine Cashew-Produktion vergrössern. Denn ich habe acht Kinder und das sind viele Mäuler, die gefüttert werden wollen."
