Plaine/Bas-fond irrigated (PS): In Burkina Faso there has been extensive development of “plaines” (irrigated fields with bunding) and “bas-fonds amenagés” (irrigated bas-fonds, or low-lying areas that may fill during the rains, and which are irrigated using that rainwater, or other drawn from a near-by source, and not necessarily just rain-fed). Cooperative Cooperative groupings manage some of these areas, and others may be small-scale commercial in nature. Some of these may be growing vegetables and other crops outside of the rainy season, although not reported as such.
Bas-fonds rainfed (PS): Another more common bas-fonds farming system is only fed by rainfall and is not irrigated or managed (amenagé) in the same way.
Rainfed (PS): This category covers everything else grown in fields, often dispersed and planted with multiple crops, during the rainy season without irrigation and with few resources.
