A series of exercises and workshops were organized among researchers, farmers, and other stakeholders in the Ntui ALL.
On 29 February 2024, the Cameroon Forum of Agricultural Advisory Services (CAMFAAS) received a delegation from the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) from Rome for a technical working visit to its headquarters in Yaoundé-Cameroon.
Agroecology offers promising pathways to increase productivity and build resilience to socio-ecological, economic, and climate shocks, delivering holistic solutions to complex challenges in the food systems. However, we still need well-tested and context-tailored agroecological practices (AEP) that can guide a transition effectively.
A two-day co-creation workshop was organized in the Ntui Living Lab of CANALLS in Cameroon on 16-17 January 2024, bringing together different stakeholders to assess key challenges faced by cocoa farming and the corresponding agroecological practices/solutions.
