The project helps 10 vulnerable and conflict-affected women farmers in Ngusi, Bakossi, improve food security and income by restoring degraded farmland through regenerative farming, digital crop and soil monitoring, erosion control, agro-food processing, and better market access.
The Ngusi community faces several connected challenges. Degraded smallholder farmland is losing soil fertility through erosion, declining soil health, biodiversity loss, and unsustainable farming practices. Farmers also face climate-related crop stress, pests and diseases, limited access to technical advice and farm inputs, unreliable electricity and connectivity, weak market access, and little access to agro-processing or digital financial services. These problems reduce crop yields, food avail
- First, we will assess each farm's soil condition, crops, erosion risks, pests, diseases, and production constraints. - The women farmers will receive hands-on training in regenerative farming, including composting, mulching, no-tillage, crop diversification, natural pest management, and soil and water protection. - Vetiver grass and native trees will be planted to control erosion, improve land cover, Low data digital AI tool support crops and soil diagnosis and recommendations
The project could create lasting benefits by: - Restoring soil health, reducing erosion, and improving farm productivity. - Increasing food security and making local food supplies more reliable. - Improving biodiversity, water protection, and climate resilience in the Bakossi landscape. - Reducing pressure on surrounding forests by helping families produce more sustainably on existing farmland. - Increasing women farmers' income, skills, market access, and decision
