Back from Ethiopia, I realised the need of an intervention with the rural community about food security. Because of the extreme survival situation of farmer’s family, I decided to devote time to this fight with my professional contribution.

Between Africa and Europe, I never stop to learn, exchange and advise. Today, I offer my services as a micro project's assessment expert (rural development).
