Farm2Market - Before NGONG

2014 Commissioned by RAD - Reignite Action for Development UK| Bambui, Northwest Region, Cameroon

Reignite, ask me in 2012 to document the Before and After of Bambui Village in all areas of intervention. From 2012 until 2014, I finalised the first step (the Before) of the long-term Documentary “Bambui Before & After"

Farm2Market represent the conclusion of the Before. For three months, I travelled through the entire Village and farming areas supporting two volunteers responsible for the Assessment report.

The aim of this Feasibility Report is to characterise the current situation for agriculture in Bambui and suggest recommendations for future opportunities that could enhance the farming industry and the associated value chain.

The objectives of the project were to understand the challenges that the Bambui farmers are facing by focusing research in these areas:

Scarcity of land; The storing and preservation of crops; Farming operations, including land management; New markets and business opportunities; Farmers management skills; The working of unions; and decline in young farmers.

The project research and outcome were based on the sustainable development model, which ensures inclusion of human, financial and environmental capitals.
