Resumen
Descripción
Rural development projects target food
security and poverty alleviation. In Central Cameroon, a
project providing extension of integrated farming technology
to rural/subsistence farmers and to periurban/small-scale
commercial farmers achieved increases in fish pond
productivity, number of fish farmers, and net returns from
aquaculture. However, gains for commercial farmers were
larger and more sustainable, and at less cost, than for
subsistence farmers. This smart lesson describes the project
and some of the lessons it provided.
