At the same time, changes in the dynamics of forest cover have been observed. The environmental change since the sixties is related to the strong mobility of rural populations. The strong resulting changes in land usage are leading to inevitable and profound changes in forest cover. Climatic uncertainty and the decrease in forested areas is leading to a significant decline in agricultural productivity. This situation particularly affects cacao production. Confronted with the incapacities of public policy to restore the forest ecosystem, agroforestry has become a solution for the survival of Ivorian agriculture in particular and of African agriculture in general. Still, in order to facilitate access to this agro-environmental method, it is important to take political, economical and social dispositions.
