Understanding youth engagement in cocoa farming
We investigated the motivations of youth in Cameroon to engage in cocoa farming, their challenges, their participation in agricultural programmes, their access to services and their performance, and the factors influencing these. A quantitative approach focused on young cocoa farmers, beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries of the New Generation Programme was used. We surveyed 309 young cocoa farmers selected through a multi-stage stratified sampling…

Heterogeneous pathways of technological change in marginalised rural areas
Dynamic and cumulative processes shaping technology adoption receive less attention in agricultural research compared to snapshot analyses of its determinants. We address this through theory-driven evaluation and the Propositions, Encounters, Dispositions and Responses framework. In 2005, research institutes introduced improved cassava varieties (ICVs) in East Cameroon. In the following decade, economic transformations brought in new development …
Farmers’ Perceptions as a Driver of Agricultural Practices
In Africa, cocoa yields are low, partly due to soil fertility constraints and poor management. While peoples’ knowledge, aspirations, and abilities are key factors explaining their behaviour, little is known about the rationales that underpin soil fertility management practices (SFMPs) of cocoa farmers. To address this gap, we conducted an exploratory survey in two contrasting regions in Cameroon where cocoa is an important crop: the humid forest…
Cocoa marketing chain in developing countries
Although liberalization of the cocoa sector has increased internal competition within the marketing chain it has also led to the emergence of informal market actors within the chain. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to analyse how the cocoa marketing chain operates by measuring and comparing the marketing margins of the formal and informal actors. Qualitative data were used to establish the structure of the marketing chain and quantitative dat…

Comment analyser la gouvernance territoriale ? Mise à l’épreuve d’une grille de lecture
Territorial governance has become an issue in the development of public policy and for those involved in territorial development. This paper presents an analytical framework for territorial governance developed as part of a multidisciplinary research project investigating organizational innovations in governance mechanisms. Developing such a framework for territorial governance is not straightforward. The mechanisms and tools depend on the contex…
Assessing aquaculture sustainability
Little work dealing with the evaluation of aquaculture system sustainability has so far been undertaken on a global and comparative basis. Moreover, such work is mostly based on very unbalanced approaches in terms of the dimensions of sustainable development that are taken into account. The approach adopted in this article is designed to encompass all the dimensions of sustainability including the institutional one (governance). The taking into a…

L'évaluation de la gouvernance territoriale. Enjeux et propositions méthodologiques
Face à l’importance croissante des dispositifs de gouvernance multi-acteurs et multi-niveaux, cette contribution se propose de rendre compte des types et des conditions d’évaluation de ces dispositifs. Les auteurs proposent une revue des recherches récentes sur les modalités d’évaluation de la gouvernance, qui témoigne de la faiblesse des travaux sur les effets de la gouvernance territoriale tant en termes d’efficacité que d’impact sur la démocra…
Quelques postulats relatifs aux indicateurs de développement durable
Après avoir illustré le foisonnement d’initiatives de développement durable dans le domaine de l’aquaculture, les auteurs présentent leur démarche de coconstruction des principes, critères et indicateurs, fondée sur l’hypothèse que la mise en place du développement durable nécessite l’implication des acteurs concernés ainsi qu’un processus d’apprentissage collectif. L’élaboration des indicateurs s’effectue par rapport à des critères qui, eux-même…
