For the Forests & Societies Research Unit, the aim is to answer the following research questions:
- What levers will enable farming communities to adapt their production systems (agriculture, livestock and forestry) to climate change?
- How can agricultural practices (choice of species and varieties, agroecological and agroforestry techniques) enable annual crop systems to adapt to climate change?
- What is the potential contribution of tree parks to community livelihoods (wood, fodder, NTFPs), to the adaptation of annual cropping systems to CC and to CC mitigation?

The research-action project "Innovation for Adaptation to Climate Change" (INNOVACC) is funded by the European Union for a period of 4 years (2022-2025). The overall objective is to improve the climatic resilience of the populations of the North and Far North of Cameroon by sustainably increasing the agro-pastoral productivity and income of rural households and by reducing their vulnerability to climate change.
