Abstract

ABSTRACT The application of indigenous and modern adaptations to climate change across the Bui Plateau, Cameroon, is investigated through interviews, focus group discussions, and a survey of farming households. Adoption and adaptation are skewed towards indigenous approaches; farmers use local seeds (72%) more than improved seeds (28%), a blend of organic and chemical fertilisers, and adjust planting dates. Policy interventions should identify the complementary roles of indigenous and modern adaptation, and promote their application as appropriate.
