Gaston Berger University

Gaston Berger University of Saint-Louis is second best university in Senegal. It is 13 kilometers from Saint Louis in the Senegal River basin, near the Mauritanian border. The University has a major mission of research and interdisciplinary training, and it has set the goal of providing high level and quality education by putting excellence at the heart of its program.

GBU has also taken an experiential and interdisciplinary learning approach, combining classroom theory with field research and practice. The university maintains a 240-hectare farm, including a 30-hectare experimental farm, in the Valley, which has similar environmental and agronomic conditions to those faced by SRV farm households. In 2010, GBU established the Agronomy, Aquaculture, and Food Technology Unit as part of the university's efforts to participate in the regional development of the Senegal River valley through agriculture and sustainable development. The unit focuses on risk reduction to support increased food security in Senegal and West Africa.
