【 摘 要 】

Rural development projects target foodsecurity and poverty alleviation. In Central Cameroon, aproject providing extension of integrated farming technologyto rural/subsistence farmers and to periurban/small-scalecommercial farmers achieved increases in fish pondproductivity, number of fish farmers, and net returns fromaquaculture. However, gains for commercial farmers werelarger and more sustainable, and at less cost, than forsubsistence farmers. This smart lesson describes the projectand some of the lessons it provided.
