Description and Table of Contents

Description

The Mandara mountains in northern Cameroon are the site of one of the world's most complex farming systems, that supports up to 200 people per square kilometre in spite of sandy soils and a semi-arid climate. What will happen to this farming system that is grounded on century-old traditional knowledge, now that out-migration and cotton growing are rapidly expanding? Based on the integrated results of three studies, this book offers decision makers the core arguments and building blocks for policy principles that will provide the mountains and its people with a future.
