Socio-Economic Assessment of Hydro-Agricultural Development in Northern Togos Savannah
Guinansoa YARBONDJA
Abstract: This study focuses on evaluating the socio-economic implications of hydro-agricultural development within the fertile wetlands of the Savannah Region in northern Togo. By employing a comprehensive methodology involving field observations, documentary research, and interviews, the research assesses the socio-economic landscape of hydro-agricultural developments in lowland areas. The study data analysis, facilitated through Sphinx Plus2 V5 software and Excel 2016 spreadsheet, reveals a predominance of cereal production, specifically maize, sorghum, beans, and rice, with substantial yields. Furthermore, the research highlights the significant contribution of market garden crops, cultivated by both men and women, further enhancing the agro-economic landscape. The findings underscore the considerable potential of hydro-agricultural development in driving income generation and sustainable agricultural practices in the region.
