In the year 2025, 83% of the world’s population, which is projected to reach 8.5 billion, will live in developing countries. However, uncertainty remains as to the ability of available resources and techniques to meet the needs of this growing population for food and other agricultural products. Agriculture will have to meet these challenges, primarily by increasing production on land already in use and avoiding further encroachment on land that is only marginally suitable for cultivation. As for sub-Saharan Africa, it is certain to say that agricultural activities have experienced limited development over a long period. The low productivity resulting from the latter remains an essential factor in the blocking of the economy, especially since food production is almost ensured by households and is based above all on self-consumption needs. Like the country as a whole, the province of Kongo-Central which, apart from its own supply, plays an important role in supplying the cities of Boma, Matadi, Kinshasa and certain neighboring countries with foodstuffs and other products from the Mayumbe forest. This study analyzes the modes of agricultural practices applied by farmers in the area explored, because they are the basis of low yields that affect the socio-economic situation of households. According to field results, men represent 53.33% and 46.66% of women. All have family responsibilities and practice agricultural activities in the Mayumbe forest or the savannah.
