Our current work consists in building a knowledge database from existing literature and implementing exploration methods to support the extraction of knowledge by the potential users (smallholders, advisors, extensionists, researchers, producers, etc.). In early May 2018, the knowledge base gathered data from 227 documents, dated from 1957 to 2017. Ninety-four percent of the 33,400 uses recorded concerned sub-Saharan African countries.
