FAO’s initiative in Cameroon supported conflict-affected communities in the South West and North West regions by promoting oyster mushroom cultivation. The project aimed to provide rapid income, enhance dietary diversity, and support social cohesion through community-based mushroom farming. Local training, starter kits, and knowledge-sharing were central to the project’s success, helping women and youth generate income in low-resource environments.
