Global Forum on Food Security and Nutrition (FSN Forum)

The Case of Kumba, Cameroon.

Bringing young people and girls in Agriculture, nutritional values and health considerations in a Town like Kumba with over 320,000 people is a big challenge.

Young people especially girls see agriculture as the no option on the table especially as they have grown from peasant backgrounds which have remained poor, malnourished, increasing diseases and lack of social amenities.

Increasing capacities in agricultural innovation and involving youth in extension agriculture and training programs which combine food security, green economy, health and climate change adaptation can reverse this historical peasant sufferrings and innovate agriculture in most communities in the country.
