Janssens, M.Weise, S.F.Sonwa, D.J.Schroth, G.Shapiro, H.[Diversifying and intensifying the Cocoa Agroforest Landscape: review and strategic approaches for managing the shade matrix in West and Central Africa]Diversifying and intensifying the Cocoa Agroforest Landscape: review and strategic approaches for managing the shade matrix in West and Central Africa

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...


Sonwa, D.J.Nkongmeneck, B.A.Weise, S.F.Tchatat, M.Adesina, A.A.Janssens, M.J.J.[Diversity of plants in cocoa agroforests in the humid forest zone of Southern Cameroon]Diversity of plants in cocoa agroforests in the humid forest zone of Southern Cameroon

Understanding the vulnerability of forest and forest related sectors to climate change, mainstreaming the use of forest into adaptation strategies are some of the challenges faced by forestry research, developers and stakeholders. Despite the multiple efforts to mitigate climate change, it is wel...


Sonwa, D.J.Nkem, J.Foahom, B.Nkongmeneck, B.A.[Ecological research in the perspective of using forest in adaptation to climate change in Cameroon (Central Africa)]Ecological research in the perspective of using forest in adaptation to climate change in Cameroon (Central Africa)

This manual on biodiversity and wildlife conservation in cocoa landscapes near protected areas aims at improving farmers’ knowledge on biodiversity and wildlife conservation in order to strengthen their decision making capacity. It helps farmers to understand the importance of biodiversity and wi...


Asare, R.David, S.Sonwa, D.J.[Conservation and biodiversity in and around cocoa farms. Learning about sustainable cocoa production: a guide for participatory farmer training]Conservation and biodiversity in and around cocoa farms. Learning about sustainable cocoa production: a guide for participatory farmer training

Forest cover has deteriorated less in Central Africa than in West Africa. The cocoa cultivation practised in West Africa, after felling of the forest, has contributed to the destruction of that cover. Unlike West Africa, cocoa cultivation in Southern Cameroon (Centaral Africa) is done by smallhol...


Sonwa, D.J.Weise, S.F.Ndoye, O.Janssens, M.J.J.[Initiatives endogenes d'intensification et de diversification a l'interieur des agroforets-cacao au Sud-Cameroun: lecons pour une foresterie participative dans les systemes a base de cultures perennes en Afrique centrale et de l'Ouest]Initiatives endogenes d'intensification et de diversification a l'interieur des agroforets-cacao au Sud-Cameroun: lecons pour une foresterie participative dans les systemes a base de cultures perennes en Afrique centrale et de l'Ouest

Cocoa-producing countries of West and Central Africa experienced a serious economic crisis in the early 1980s, when the cocoa sector was liberalized and the macroeconomic policies of the sector changed. These institutional changes created new difficulties and challenges for sustainable cocoa farm...


Sonwa, D.J.Weise, S.F.Adesina, A.A.Nkongmeneck, B.A.Tchatat, M.Ndoye, O.[Production constraints on cocoa agroforetry systems in West and Central Africa: the need for integrated pest management and multi-institutional approaches]Production constraints on cocoa agroforetry systems in West and Central Africa: the need for integrated pest management and multi-institutional approaches

This study determined the structure of cocoa plantations along a continuous gradient of market access, population density and resource use intensity in the humid forest zone of southern Cameroon. The study area comprises the sub-regions of Yaoundé, Mbalmayo, and Ebolowa. Market access, population...


Sonwa, D.J.Weise, S.F.Nkongmeneck, B.A.Tchatat, M.Janssens, M.J.J.[Structure of cocoa agroforest of Southern Cameroon]Structure of cocoa agroforest of Southern Cameroon

Over 70 years of familiarity with cocoa agroforests enables farmers of southern Cameroon to obtain food, medicinal plants and income from the ecosystem. Since 1994, social forestry activities in Cameroon have focused primarily on the idea of community forests. This approach is likely to encounter...
