Agroforestry bringing hope and restoring landscapes in highlands of NW Cameroon

Riba is a community located in Bui Division in the mountainous North West Region of Cameroon close to Kilum-Ijim Mountain Forest. The hillsides of this area have been deforested and degraded by peasant agriculture with a loss of soil fertility and biodiversity. RARC was established 15 years ago to promote a more sustainable tree-based farming system to restore soil fertility, generate income, enhance gender equity, and improve farmer livelihoods through the establishment of a community-funded Rural Resource Centre (RRC) providing training in agroforestry and nursery management, watershed protection, bee-keeping, use of microfinance, and support in the marketing of tree seedlings and farm produce. Capacity building activities have now been extended to 26 of its groups, with an average of 20-30 persons per group.
