Farmers in Cameroon are organized in small groups, in which they discuss challenges they have with pests, and traditional (local) methods to mitigate them. Farmers also consult a specialist from a local Research Center who knows about new methods of non-chemical crop protection. Together, they set up experiments to see how the new techniques work in local practice.
If a new method turns out to be an improvement, it is adopted and used on a wider scale. Efforts are focused on the use of plant extracts against insect pests.
