カメルーン南西部の農業従事者を対象に、炭素農法（カバークロップ、アグロフォレストリー、耕起低減など）の導入意向と障壁を調査。70％が訓練と資金支援があれば導入に前向きであり、炭素クレジット取引への関心も高い。MRV（測定・報告・検証）の課題やコスト、規制の未整備が主な障壁である。結論として、炭素農法の統合はSDGs達成と地域の気候スマート農業リーダーとしての地位確立に寄与する。
English
This study explores carbon farming practices (cover cropping, agroforestry, reduced tillage) in Cameroon's Southwest Region. 70% of farmers are willing to adopt if trained and financially supported, with interest in carbon credit trading. Barriers include MRV, cost, and regulatory gaps. Integrating carbon farming can help achieve SDGs 2 and 13, positioning Cameroon as a regional leader.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
カメルーンでの炭素農法導入に関する実証研究は、日本においても農地の炭素貯留やJ-クレジット制度の拡充を検討する際に示唆を与える。特にMRVの課題や小規模農家の参加促進は、日本の農業分野におけるGX政策にも参考となる。
In the global GX context
This paper provides empirical evidence on carbon farming in a developing country context, relevant to global carbon credit markets and MRV challenges. It contributes to the discourse on agriculture-based removals under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement and voluntary carbon markets.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:Offers empirical data on adoption barriers and willingness for carbon farming in a Sub-Saharan African context, useful for MRV and carbon market design research.
🏢実務担当者:Provides insights for designing training and financial support programs for smallholder farmers to adopt carbon farming.
🏛政策担当者:Highlights regulatory and MRV gaps that need to be addressed to integrate agriculture into national climate strategies and carbon markets.
📄 Abstract（原文）
Introduction: Agriculture, which constitutes approximately 17% of Cameroon’s economy, and employs 70% of Cameroon's labor is grappling with substantial challenges posed by climate change. This study explores carbon farming practices, such as cover cropping, agroforestry, and reduced tillage, as climate-smart strategies to promote sustainable agriculture while mitigating the adverse impacts of climate change. Methods: This study employs a mixed-methods approach, involving 27 semi-structured interviews with farmers, exporters, NGOs, and officials from the Ministry of Agriculture, as well as a focus group discussion with community stakeholders. Secondary data review and trade dataset analysis are also incorporated. Results: 70% of respondents expressed willingness to adopt at least one carbon farming practice, provided they received adequate training and financial support. Most farmers expressed concern about the potential of reduced yields but were excited by the possibility of trading CO2 captured for extra income. Key barriers identified by Stakeholders include measurement, reporting, and verification (MRV), cost, and regulatory gaps. Discussion: The study concludes that integrating carbon farming into Cameroon's agricultural strategy offers a practical pathway to achieving Sustainable Development Goals 2 and 13. Moreover, it positions Cameroon as a potential regional leader in climate-smart agriculture while balancing economic, environmental, and social priorities.
