Description
| Data from Northwest Region (rural) agro-ecological zone is Tropics lowland, warm Tree Crop farming system. West-African food composition table is used Stadlmayr B, et al. (2012) West-African Food Composition Table. (Rome), p 148. Species consumed were identified using ICRAF data for Cameroun and World Vegetable Centre, Yaoundé, Cameroon Only mothers with children between 12-23 months were interviewed. Households were first visited to inform the mother/caregiver on the study background and objectives after which consent to participate was asked by reading out a consent form. Only upon agreement and subsequent signing of the form, an interview was conducted. The study was approved by ethics Clearance Committee, Yaoundé, Cameroon.
