CONTEXT
Nowadays, the vast majority of Cameroonian students do not have a meaningful connection to agriculture. Many schools in both rural and urban areas exist without a garden or farm. This has made many children remain disconnected from agriculture. Students have developed a lukewarm attitude towards agriculture as they see it as something for those who have never been to school. Moreover, many children neglect the importance of knowing the background of the food they eat and the work local farmers put into it.
