Our work here emphasizes on food systems that increase agricultural production, income and resilience to climate change. This is through empowerment and engagement of small-scale farmers in traditional and new sustainable practices, such as composting, agroforestry, api-forestry and organic livestock and food crop production. Over 7500 trees have been planted within agro-ecosystem, while rural farmers realised an average annual household food production of 3.8 tons and an average annual household income of XAF 203,759 (approximately US$407.5) as against the target of XAF 56,667 (approximately US$111.3) resulting to an increase in the average annual household income of XAF 198,092 (approximately US$396.2) This is as a result of the various modern agricultural technologies (agro-forestry, composting, crop rotation, mulching); and farm tools and inputs made available to small-scale farmers to facilitate their agricultural activities. In addition, the average annual quantity of food processed by target farmers in 2022 stood at 1.2 tons and an average annual income of XAF 152,486 ((approximately US$304.9) from food processing.
