Conscious Food Transformation and Preservation training Workshop

The world is changing, pushed by crises, and shift of mindsets due to a lack of opportunities and some particular resources. Food preferences are progressing. Consumers are becoming more health conscious and more aware of environmental protection. The hunger for more organic products is also in Africa, especially n Cameroon. It is now on us (Wandusoa and Peace Crops Organizations to offer multiple pieces of training to the grass root farmers on localized and cost-efficient products. We conducted a one-day interactive and practical training workshop focus on food transformation and preservation. We made flour, pasta, and spaghetti but not made out of wheat. We produced pasta and spaghetti from local, starch-containing vegetables and roots, such as Cassava, coco yam, potatoes, Jackfruit, Plantain, etc. Every crisis can function as a springboard for opportunities. The world is becoming a global village. The consequences of globalization are many. Consumer goods are transported from one country to another. Food is becoming richer and more diverse. The dark side-Dependency. Since the Ukraine war broke out, many African countries are experiencing food insecurity. In Cameroon for example, foods like pasta or cookies made from wheat are not available anymore. This forced us Partner together to think locally and pushed us into producing pasta made of starch-containing vegetables. The positive side effects are various: we are not just empowering our beneficiaries with new skills but consumers with gluten allergies can now eat pasta without worry. Pasta would now become affordable, also for low-income groups, and we focus more on local products. Additionally, our emphasis on organic food crops will encourage especially farmers to use less or no pesticides.

Wandusoa Pilot Project 2023 Site selection and farm preparation by Team Members.

Ekekam iii village, Likie Division in the center region cameroon is Wandusoa’s Pilot project site. Wandusoa’s Team that is made up of the Founder Mafah Cornelius Kuta, the Director in charge of Farms and Production Chi Donatus Teke, the Academic Director Efimba Helen Bemlue and the Farm Assistant Eric Tafon selected the site for the pilot project last Tuesday 10-01-2023. It was also an opportunity for the Farms Director to lead the other team members in transplanting huckleberry that was overgrown in the garden’s nursery space. This is to create space for the incoming participants to be able to create their own vegetable nursery in the days ahead. A lot is going on here in Wandusoa as we are preparing to welcome our first batch of 20 regenerative farming students for a nine months training in regenerative agriculture/business skills and knowledge so that they become socially, and ecologically responsible rural entrepreneurs while preserving and restoring our topsoil needed for all species to survive.
