Dialogues on Sustainability, Leadership and Resilience

Sustainable agriculture requires improvement in skills among other inputs as factors of agricultural development.
Better World Cafe, in Yaonde Cameroon project sets out to build a global interface to give voice and equality to youth groups through agrobiodiversity and agroforestry. We are already introducing Organic Gardening, Distance learning and Permaculture as a solution to hunger and poverty.
Rural and urban youth have no other sources of livelihood as well as no credit with which to consolidate and improve on small parcels of land; age, health and family situation all constitute major reasons for this state of affairs. The situation makes young farmers to consider themselves as forgotten in the entire development process and consequently the vocation is not attractive to the youth.I am also thinking here in terms of the diffusion of research results, farm inputs as well as monitoring and follow up.Better World Cafe in Yaounde,Cameroon if assisted,can find innovative solutions, not the short-lived intermittent type,but innitiatives which focus on the identification of project areas, follow up right to production, storage, and marketing or transformation of produce to solve the food crisis and provide development education. We believe the best way to solve the food crisis is to increase local production through empowering youth farming groups to take control of their food systems.
