Assessing family farm sustainability using the IDEA method in the agropole for pineapple in Nlohe (Cameroon)

This article assesses the agro-ecological, socio-territorial and economic sustainability of 23 farms in the agropole for pineapple in Nlohe-Cameroon. The tool used is the IDEA diagnostic method. The economic sustainability scores of these farms are low (between 54% and 58%); efforts therefore should be made to improve the economic viability of farms. This involves the diversification of the production system and the improvement of financial autonomy within the Nlohe agropole.
