Tree Species Replacement and Socio-Ecological Transformation

By Henri Brice Afane and Didja Véronique Katchi

This book falls within the fields of African rural studies, political ecology and the sociology of development. It analyses the agricultural, social and environmental transformations brought about by the expansion of fruit tree cultivation in two rural areas of West Africa with contrasting trajectories: the Adamaoua region in Cameroon and Oyo State in Nigeria. Through a comparative and interdisciplinary approach, the book demonstrates that the gradual replacement of annual food crops with perennial tree crops represents not only an evolution in agricultural production systems, but also a profound transformation of social structures, power relations and territorial dynamics.
