Abstract

The chapter examines the implementation of geographic information systems (GISs) in Malmiñañ, Cameroon, as part of a 2022–2023 fieldwork project aimed at addressing food insecurity and enhancing rural agro-food systems. It details the challenges faced, including linguistic barriers, anthropological constraints, and geopolitical influences such as the Russia-Ukraine war’s impact on food supply. The study highlights innovative solutions, such as integrating indigenous knowledge with modern technology, community participation, and visual storytelling. Ultimately, it underscores the importance of collaborative, culturally sensitive approaches in applying technological advancements to agricultural sustainability.
