Why is it important?

This paper is quite important in the context of Cameroon actually experiencing an increase in the burden of malnutrition on children especially in the regions marked by terrorism amongst other factors. On the other hand it has to be taken into consideration especially during a time when Cameroon is seeking to be an emergent country by 2035. There is need to encourage internal exchange of foods between the various climatic zones by creation of linkages between farmers to consumers and those climate zones for instance food cultivated in Bamenda should easily reach people in Bertoua and Ngaoundere without necessarily having to pass through Yaounde.
