CoLab Podcast – Series 2, Episode 4

Mafah Cornelius Kuta – Wandusoa Organic Cameroon Development Association

Wandusoa Organic Cameroon is running a regenerative agriculture school with on-campus small-scale enterprises that serve a dual purpose. On the one hand, these enterprises produce and sell organic farm products and services in the local markets, generating income to pay for the school’s expenses and ensuring the school’s long-term financial sustainability.

On the other hand, they offer marginalized youths diverse opportunities to learn regenerative agriculture and business skills in a hands-on way. The school’s program is a business plan embedded in the curriculum that allows students to study traditional subjects like Mathematics and English language, alongside practical regenerative agricultural subjects like agroforestry, permaculture, beekeeping, and livestock rearing.

Their “learning-by-doing and earning” approach to education means that students graduate with the regenerative agriculture/business skills and experience they need to succeed in responsible jobs in the formal regenerative agricultural sector or as self-employed entrepreneurs.
