Peasant Resilience and Stakes in Crop Cultivation Within an Unstable Bio-Physical Milieu: The Case of Bui Division, North West Region, Cameroon. American Journal of Environmental Protection. Vol. 10, No. 2, 2021, pp. 37-52. doi: 10.11648/j.ajep.20211002.11 Received : August 4, 2020; Accepted : May 7, 2021; Published : May 20, 2021 Abstract: Prospects of food crop cultivation and supply center on peasant resilience and their adaptability to the surrounding bio-physical milieu. Farmers’ predisposition to the numerous challenges within their biophysical context makes them resilient and thoughtful in strengthening their skills. The soils, relief, climate and vegetation of Bui Division heighten farmers’ resilience for harmonious, flourishing and innovative techniques to hold the farmers spellbound in their daily farm operations. In addition, vegetables are cultivated abundantly in wetland areas during the dry season. -

Accepted 17 September, 2012 This study was conducted in Tubah subdivision, Northwest region, Cameroon, aiming at identifying plants used to treat respiratory diseases. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to interview members of the population including traditional healers, herbalists, herb sellers, and other villagers. The plant parts used as well as the modes of preparation and administration were recorded. Fifty four plant species belonging to 51 genera and 33 families were collected and identified by their vernacular and scientific names. The Asteraceae was the most represented family (6 species) followed by the Malvaceae (4 species). The families Asclepiadaceae, Musaceae and Polygonaceae were represented by one species each. The plant part most frequently used to treat respiratory diseases in the study was reported as the leaf. Of the 54 plants studied, 36 have been documented as medicinal plants in Cameroon’s pharmacopoeia. However, only nine of these have been reported to be used in the treatment of respiratory diseases. -

GSJ: Volume 9, Issue 2, February 2021 ISSN 2320-9186 1288 GSJ: Volume 9, Issue 2, February 2021, Online: ISSN 2320-9186 www.globalscientificjournal.com FARMERS COMPETENCE AND CHALLENGES IN FOOD CROP MANAGEMENT IN THE NDOP PLAIN Kometa Sunday Shende and Tafuh Desmond Forbah [email protected] Department of Geography and Planning, Faculty of Arts, The University of Bamenda, Cameroon ABSTRACT Agriculture is one of the sectors with the potentials to enhance people’s standard of living. Severe hunger and poverty affects nearly one billion people around the world and as a result, the demand for food necessitates improvement in planning and management techniques of food crop production. Given that food crop cultivation remains crucial for livelihood sustenance, management techniques by farmers are largely unsustainable. With continuous increase in population, the demand for food crops remains a threat to the community as the inputs of farmers into the farms does not reflect their output in the Ndop Plain. The supply of food crops is becoming unsecured in view of the post-harvest losses incurred by farmers. Farmers Competence in Food Crop Management holds promises to increase food crop production and minimise post harvest losses. This holds that farmers success in food crop management requires a certain level of knowledge, skills, attitudes and experience acquired through formal and informal training. The study intends to investigate farmers’ competence and challenges in food crop management in the Ndop Plain. The study makes use of primary and secondary data collection in which purposive random sampling was used in administering the questionnaires. Primary sources of data collection used in the study include field observation, interview and administration of questionnaires. -

The Bamendjin dam drainage basin and its floodplain are endowed with abundant water resources and rich biodiversity, however, poverty is still a dominant factor that accounts for unsustainable management of natural resources by the majority of rural inhabitants in the area. The dam was created in 1975 and has since then exacerbated the environmental conditions and human problems of the region due to lack of flood control during rainy seasons, lost hope of improved navigation system, unclean drinking water sources, population growth, rising unemployment, deteriorating environmental health issues, resettlement problems and land use conflicts, especially farmer-herder conflicts. -

National Community Driven Development Program-PNDP
Santa Council COUNCIL DEVELOPMENT PLAN Approved by: Santa Council Development plan-CDP Page 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Within the framework of Cameroon Vision 2035, the growth and employment strategy and the decentralisation process in Cameroon with focus on local governance, councils are therefore expected to assume the full responsibility to manage resources and projects within their areas of jurisdiction. These resources are coming from Government, technical and financial partners as well as those mobilised locally. The Government through some of her sectorial ministries have already in the first generation devolved some resources and competences to councils serving as a trial to measure their level in the areas of project execution and management. The innovation of instituting a bottom-up approach of development whereby the populations at the grassroots are called upon to get totally involved and participate in the identification of their own problems, translate them into micro projects becomes capital to the elaboration of a council development plan. The Council Development plan (CDP) is a document that presents the desired goal, objectives, actions and the activities that the council wants to realize within a period. The CDP is elaborated in a participatory manner based on information obtained from village level, urban level and institutional diagnosis which are consolidated. As such it involved various partners; the National Community Driven Development Program (PNDP) that offered technical and financial resources, the Support Service to Grassroots Initiatives of Development (SAILD) that was privileged to provide services to the Santa Council for various studies, the Santa Council and inhabitants of constituent villages who provided the data required for the studies, and various sectorial ministries within the municipality, Division and the Region who equally provided data and assisted in the analysis and elaboration of planning tables.
