  abstract = {{AGRICONGO} ({I}nstitut de recherche et d'appui pour le d{\'e}veloppement agricole en zones tropicales) developed a project entitled new farming systems ({NFS}). {T}his project is intended to implement peri-urban agriculture for city dwellers who want to go into small farm businesses. {B}ecause the {C}ongo is importing a large part of its food, the project's first goal was to identify products for development. {A} basic project assumption was that the best way to reduce these imports was to modernize traditional foods. {T}here was also a need to develop appropriate technologies in agronomy and food science. {W}ork was done to design both a 1.5 ha {NFS} farm and integrated food processing facility. {F}arming techniques were tested at the research station level and the study included socioeconomic issues and farmer-level implementation of product marketing and commercialization. {T}his report presents preliminary findings from 20 pilot {NFS} farms that were tested near {B}razzaville. {F}ood processing lines and their management are also described. {P}rocessed products made available to urban markets through the project were chikwangue (cassava bread) and cassava-based mixed flour for infant food.
