Agroforestry systems in Central Africa - Agroforesterie Cameroun

How can we develop sustainable, high-yielding agroforestry systems that satisfy demand from the agricultural sector, particularly family farms?

In central Africa, a significant proportion of agriculture relies on complex agroforestry systems, primarily cocoa- and coffee-based, which contribute to the incomes and diets of millions of rural households. In the current situation of growing pressure on natural resources, such systems, which combine environmental service and production functions, can help improve living conditions for local people. The aim of the platform is to assess the performance and sustainability of such systems in all their diversity, and to support decision-making by producers.
