CMYaoundé (Biyem-Assi), Cameroon

An urban agriculture programme (2013–2014) in the working-class district of Biyem-Assi in Cameroon's capital Yaoundé, aimed at reducing poverty and food insecurity among residents. Because arable land is scarce and soil contamination common in the city, Alternatives brought in the soil-free (hors-sol) growing techniques it had developed on Montreal rooftops and spread them among neighbourhood women's groups, market vendors, and school pupils and their families. The work combined building vegetable gardens and a school garden with income-generating activity, a training programme and educational materials.
