Simulating the management of wastes at a territory level in the peri-urban market gardening systems of Dakar (Senegal): the case of the Rufisque department

In the Rufisque department in Senegal, the regular supply of farmers with organic residuary products (ORP), namely livestock wastes, is a major constrai nt. The Magma model has been used to assess the supply of farms with ORPs. Comparing a base scenari o, reflecting the actual farmers' practices, with two alternatives where practices and means of trans portation are better adapted, the simulations have shown a more even application of ORPs to crops, the decrease of the nitrogen leaching risk and the reduction of the total transport mileage, namely wh en crop farms are relocated in a remote rural area.
