Today, peri-urban agriculture appears to be the lifeblood of Bangui's inhabitants. The crisis in the Central African Republic has led to the disappearance of urban activities concentrated in the capital Bangui, a factor in the rural exodus of the 1970s. The deterioration of communication routes with the hinterland limits the supply of food products to the major urban centers. During and after the many socio-political upheavals in Bangui, the peri-urban area was coveted for agro-pastoral activities. In this way, poverty and food insecurity are partly resolved in the city thanks to local agriculture. However, this periphery, which is ideal for agriculture, is under the influence of the urban sprawl of the city of Bangui. The case of the western periphery is appropriate, as this is where urban spatial growth is taking place, while at the same time causing the regression of agricultural space. Farmers are forced to move more than 40 kilometers away to secure their fields in the face of the "Greater Bangui by 2050" project. This study aims to develop the potential of peri-urban agriculture in the west of Bangui.

Bélélem Madjierem, a Chadian national, is a member of the Geography Department at the University of Bangui. His Master's thesis was supervised by Dr. Félix Ngana, Senior Lecturer at the University of Bangui. After graduating in 2006, he returned to Chad and began teaching. This book is a gesture of solidarity.
