Grilled pork (GP), smoked fish (SF) and smoked-dried fish (SDF) are popular foods in Benin. They are processed by small cottage industries for direct consumption at household level, as street food, or are intended for local and sub-regional markets. Although playing important socio-economic and nutritional roles, the conditions under which these foods are processed make their safety questionable.

Sahelian woody vegetation has been the topic of many researches since the great drought that struck the Sahel in the 1970s-1980s. However, there is currently no consensus about the long-term trends of these savannas as observations sometimes seem contradictory according to the indicators used.

The BCCM consortium organizes its fourth hands-on training on preservation of micro-organisms (fungi, bacteria, cyanobacteria, microalgae), and a seminar on management of a culture collection. All industrials, scientists and students who aim to develop their skills in micro-organism handling and preservation are invited to join the training (14-18th of September 2020). http://bccm.belspo.be/trai
