Burkina Faso is a country in West Africa. It straddles the Sahelian and Sudanese zones. This gives the north and centre of the country an arid, steppe-like climate. In contrast, the south is dominated by a tropical climate and savannah. This results in exceptional landscape diversity. The country is home to more than a dozen ethnic groups, each with their own unique culture. This article attempts to showcase the unique landscapes and cultures of Burkina Faso's peoples. However, tourism has recently been affected by terrorist attacks, particularly in the north and east of the country.

This study analyses the dynamics of market garden cropping systems and the impact of pesticide and fertiliser use. The methodology combines secondary and primary data. Descriptive statistics, the relative importance index, the impact frequency index and ordered logistic regression were used to process the data. The study showed that market gardeners have several market gardens cropping systems, including eight cropping systems before the development of the lowland and thirteen cropping systems today. The dynamics of the cropping systems are accompanied by a high frequency of pesticide and fertiliser use. The study also shows that the dynamics of pesticide and fertiliser use are influenced by the type of market targeted by the growers, the type of vegetables grown, the level of the water table, climatic variables, the level of education, the size of the plots and the level of equipment used by the growers.

In rural Sahelian territories, groundwater represents the main source of drinking water supply. However, the physicochemical quality of groundwater abstracted from boreholes implemented within rural development projects remains insufficiently documented, even though it is a key factor for the environmental and health sustainability of such investments. This study aims to assess the physicochemical quality of groundwater from two boreholes constructed under the Emergency Territorial Development and Resilience Project (PUDTR) in the municipality of Koudougou, Central-West Burkina Faso, and to analyze their environmental and territorial implications. The methodology is based on water sampling conducted in July 2025 during the rainy season, followed by physicochemical analyses carried out in an accredited laboratory. The analyzed parameters include pH, temperature, turbidity, electrical conductivity, total dissolved solids, major ions, nitrogen compounds, iron, and nutrients. The results were interpreted through comparison with the World Health Organization (WHO) drinking water quality guidelines, combined with a geographical approach integrating environmental context and territorial dynamics. The results indicate that all analyzed parameters comply with WHO guideline values, reflecting good overall groundwater quality. The waters show low mineralization, low nitrate and iron concentrations, and no significant chemical pollution, despite the agricultural context and the active groundwater recharge period. However, the low buffering capacity of the waters highlights their potential vulnerability to future anthropogenic pressures. These findings provide a valuable baseline for sustainable territorial planning and groundwater management in rural areas benefiting from hydraulic infrastructure projects.

Burkina Faso, a West African country, is located between two climatic zones, the Sahelian zone and the Sudanese zone. The southern part of the country (Sudano-Guinean zone) receives the most rainfall (1,100 mm) annually, the center (Sudano-Sahelian zone) receives 800 mm/year, and the Sahel region receives 500 mm of water per year. Gold mining in Burkina Faso is characterized by industrial, artisanal, and semi-mechanized exploitation. Mining and artisanal sites are spread throughout the country. Industrial mining is mainly dominated by foreign companies, while artisanal mining is carried out by nationals. In this article, we highlight the country's gold potential, as well as the means, methods, and techniques used in mining and the living conditions of gold miners. However, recurring conflicts between industrial and artisanal mining operations and the insecurity affecting the country are having a significant impact on Burkina Faso's mining sector.
