The evo- lutionary journey shaped by gathering, eating and trading habits is largely overlooked. In Cameroon, a country undergoing a food transition, the Agropolis Foundation's 'Arbopolis' project used a participatory approach that brought together growers, consumers and researchers to demonstrate the importance of safou (the fruit of Dacry- odes edulis) in diet and cultural practices.
