Méguet:The Pinré public primary school recently harvested 250 kilograms of cowpeas from its school field, an initiative aimed at improving student nutrition and supporting the school's canteen. Despite the modest yield, attributed to unfavorable rainy season conditions, the school community remains optimistic about future harvests.

According to Burkina Information Agency, this agricultural project involved parents, students, and teachers who worked together during the 2026 winter season. Dominique Bougma, the school council president, acknowledged the challenging weather but expressed satisfaction with the effort, hoping for better results in subsequent years.

Pascaline Kaboré, the assistant treasurer of the school council, shared similar sentiments, viewing the initiative as a promising start. She highlighted that, in addition to the harvested cowpeas, a collection drive is underway to gather cowpeas and sorghum from each student to bolster the school's food reserves.

Looking forward, Kaboré encouraged parents to increase their involvement in the school field project to ensure successful harvests in the future.
