Technological innovations and changes in agrarian structures : the diffusion of animal traction in Cameroon and Togo
Based on the institutional framework conditions, which are favourable to or allow the diffusion of animal traction in smallholder farming systems, three sectors are identified by taking North Cameroon as a main example : processes of change
Social and economic change and the intensity of land use in the Mandara Mountains region of North Cameroon
The relationship between demographic change, land use and land availability has been a major focus of studies of African agricultural systems. This investigation in the Mandara Mountains of Northern Cameroon examines responses to population growth

Minerals derived from catchment soils were determined using FTIR spectroscopy in the well-dated core OW4 from Lake Ossa, a lowland rainforest area in Cameroon. This quantification provides a hydrologic record indicating that the magnitude of runoff

The objective of this study is to better understand the complexity of deforestation processes in southern Cameroon by testing a multivariate, spatial model of land-cover change trajectories associated with deforestation. The use of time series
This article explains low yields and low food production in Cameroon through a farmers’ perspective and identifies both biophysical factors (the long and more frequent dry spells and late start of the start of the rainy season) and socio-economic
their local production environments. The current agricultural development policy of the Cameroon government is advocating greater public–private engagement and can benefit from farmers’ inputs and opinions in the design of relevant policies.
