Optigerm
In 2019, Fondation Avril financed the Optigerm project, carried out as part of a partnership between CIRAD, Faculty of Agricultural Sciences of Abomey-Calavi University, Nutrinat and the Technical University of Munich.
Optigerm’s mission is to contribute to improving the nutritional status of African populations, both in rural and urban areas, by developing and marketing an improved flour based on legumes and germinated cereals adapted, in particular, to the purchasing power of the most vulnerable populations.

OUR PARTNER
CIRAD, the French Agricultural Research Centre for International Development, is an organization working for the sustainable development of tropical and Mediterranean regions.
