Sonwa, D.J.Weise, S.F.Schroth, G.Janssens, M.J.J.Shapiro, H.Y.[Structure of cocoa farming systems in West and Central Africa: a review.]Structure of cocoa farming systems in West and Central Africa: a review.

In the humid forest regions of southern Cameroon in central Africa, sectoral and macroeconomic policy reforms introduced in the late 1980s have led to intensified land use, which in turn has resulted in, among other environmental consequences, shortened fallow systems dominated by the Asteraceae ...

Imports of pesticides have long been subsidised for use in the cocoa agroforests of the humid forest zone of southern Cameroon. With the liberalisation of the cocoa and pesticides sectors and the devaluation of the local currency (CFA franc), farmers are facing fluctuations in the price paid for ...

The Polymotu concept (poly=many, motu=island) is to use the geographical isolation of special sites for conservation and reproduction of individual varieties of plants, trees and even animals. This concept is mainly derived from previous initiatives in conservation of coconut palms by ancient Pol...


Bourdeix, R.Johnson, V.Baudouin, L.Tuia, V.S.Kete, T.Planes, S.Lusty, C.Weise, S.F.[Polymotu : A new concept of island-based germplasm bank based on an old Polynesian practice]Polymotu : A new concept of island-based germplasm bank based on an old Polynesian practice

A review of the potential for biotechnology to contribute to the management and conservation of forest resources in the Congo Basin suggests that biotechnology needs to be seen as a complementary tool to the traditional management programme not as a substitute. In addition, there is a pressing ne...

The distribution and composition of the tree component inside cocoa agroforests plays an important role in the economic and ecological services offered by these plantations. The presence of these plant components appears to be influenced by several factors controlling the introduction and managem...

Group surveys were conducted in five villages in each of the three resource-use zones of the humid forest zone of Southern Cameroon, to assess insect pests’ incidence and the variation due to forest landscape degradation in the agricultural production systems. 389 farmers were interviewed. The re...

Subsidies for inputs, such as pesticides, enabled about 400 000 households in southern Cameroon to grow cocoa and provide for basic needs such as food, education, bride price and house construction. Economic liberalization resulted in disengagement of the State in favor of the private sector and ...

In the humid forest zone of Southern Cameroon, farmers generally associate cocoa with native and exotic trees in complex agroforestry systems. Despite the socio-economic and ecological importance of these systems, few studies have investigated their plant composition. We investigated tree composi...
