Cameroonian Association for the Promotion of Synecoculture

Cultivate biodiversity, restore soils, nourish sustainably

We promote synecoculture in Cameroon: an ecosystem‑based approach that increases soil fertility, sequesters carbon and improves farmers’ incomes. It strengthens cultivated biodiversity, restores soil life, reduces erosion, optimizes water use and limits inputs, while valuing local knowledge, gender equity and the food self‑reliance of rural communities.
