How Is Cameroun S elf- Sufficient in Food ? A Few Methodological Points
Dependency, security and self-sufficiency are notions used to characterize the food situation in various sub-Saharian countries. There is no obvious ways of measuring such indications. In a context of strong population growth and accelerated urbanization, there is every reason to expect increasing food imports and, eventually, greater dependency ; but the Camerounian example shows that there is no automatic correlation between urbanization and food dependency. Cameroun is now relatively self-sufficient even though it, too, has to deal with the growth of the population and of cities. This self-sufficiency, which costs indirect imports, can be set down to a choice in economic and agricultural policy. This choice will turn out to be right in the long run if agricultural production grows to satisfy the population's food needs. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
