The Problem
Our Approach
Our Impact
Globally, over one-third of soil is already degraded — and we risk losing 90% of our productive topsoil by 2050
-75% of Cameroon’s arable land is degraded due to deforestation, overgrazing, and chemical-intensive farming (World Bank).
if current farming practices continue. Since 95% of food depends on healthy topsoil, this is not just an environmental issue — it’s a food crisis in the making.
In Cameroon where agri employs more than 80% of the population, smallholder farmers, particularly women are on the frontlines of this challenge. Yet they often lack:
- Awareness about soil degradation and its long-term impact
- Access to regenerative farming tools and indigenous inputs
- Financial support to transition to sustainable practices
- Strong networks to share knowledge and resources
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 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/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. Our “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.
Ecological Impact
50+ hectares restored through regenerative agroforestry, moving from barren monocultures to biodiverse food forests
14,000+ fruit trees, 10,000 plantains, and 5,000 cocoyam seedlings planted , creating climate-resilient food systems
12 tons of CO2 sequestered (verified through soil sampling) while increasing biodiversity with 15 native species reintroduced
Economic & Social Impact
20 certified regenerative farmers , with 80% launching their own businesses (seedling nurseries, training services)
40% average income increase for participating farmers within 6 months through cooperative sales of 2.3 tons/month of organic produce
520 smallholder farmers trained , with women leading 60% of cooperatives
10,000+ households now accessing nutrient-dense food from restored land
