Gender and Urban in the Agriculture: Experiences from a Previous Project in the Bamenda Highland Planteau of Cameroon

Since the beginning of the year 2000, The Bugh–suh organic farmers
CIG (BUSOFARM), started introducing the concept of urban agriculture in
the city of Bamenda through discussions, contacts, and micro studies with
some farmers, government officials and university authorities. Research
surveys have shown that several actors including women, children and youths
are important in ensuring food security at household and family levels. These
actors have been grossly neglected in the formulation of policies and
development programmes in urban agriculture.
