Dans un contexte de réflexion internationale sur les systèmes alimentaires, de valorisation des connaissances autochtones et de reconnaissance de l’étude des « faits alimentaires » comme discipline, cette étude met l’accent sur la diversité de l’alimentation traditionnelle au Cameroun et notamment sur la place du safou (Dacryodes edulis). Via de nombreux verbatims extraits de discussions dirigées, le safou apparaît comme un fruit aux vertus nutritionnelles et sensorielles appréciées, un fruit social, un fruit moyen de subsistance, un fruit emblématique d’une alimentation traditionnelle riche d’atouts pour faire face à la transition nutritionnelle.
Abstract
In a context of international thinking on food systems, promotion of indigenous knowledge and recognition as a discipline of food fact study, this study emphasizes the diversity of traditional food in Cameroon and in particular the place of safou (Dacryodes edulis). Through numerous verbatim extracts from directed discussions, safou appears as a food with appreciated nutritional and sensory virtues, a social fruit, an emblematic fruit of a traditional diet rich in advantages to face nutritional transition.
