V\u00e9ronique Tevodrje et Christelle Dekadjevi sont deux jeunes femmes b\u00e9ninoises li\u00e9es par une amiti\u00e9 solide et une passion commune pour l'agriculture moderne. Ces deux jeunes femmes faisaient partie de la cinqui\u00e8me cohorte de l'ENABLE-TAAT<\/a> programme d'incubation mis en \u0153uvre par IITA<\/a> Les jeunes dans le secteur agroalimentaire<\/a> programme, o\u00f9 ils ont b\u00e9n\u00e9fici\u00e9 d'une formation compl\u00e8te aux techniques agricoles durables, \u00e0 la gestion d'entreprise agricole et \u00e0 l'innovation \u00e0 travers toute la cha\u00eene de valeur des cultures mara\u00eech\u00e8res. Gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 ce soutien structur\u00e9, ils ont su transformer avec succ\u00e8s leur ambition en une entreprise concr\u00e8te, viable et prometteuse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apr\u00e8s avoir termin\u00e9 leur formation, ils ont cr\u00e9\u00e9 leur propre unit\u00e9 de production mara\u00eech\u00e8re au sein de l'Universit\u00e9 d'Abomey-Calavi. Sur une parcelle bien organis\u00e9e, ils cultivent divers l\u00e9gumes frais, notamment de la laitue, des tomates, des aubergines, du basilic et des piments, en utilisant des m\u00e9thodes modernes et respectueuses de l'environnement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bien qu'elles soient encore au d\u00e9but de leur parcours entrepreneurial, V\u00e9ronique et Christelle font d\u00e9j\u00e0 preuve d'un fort esprit de partage. Elles sont enti\u00e8rement dispos\u00e9es \u00e0 accompagner les \u00e9tudiants int\u00e9ress\u00e9s qui souhaitent suivre leurs traces et prendre leur avenir en main gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 une agriculture durable et moderne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leur histoire prouve qu'avec un accompagnement ad\u00e9quat, de la d\u00e9termination et de la passion, l'agriculture peut devenir un puissant moteur d'autonomisation \u00e9conomique, d'insertion professionnelle et d'impact social durable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
