Climate Change and Global Warming
How didAfroGreenTech work?
Leuga Monkam Ignace Bertrand
AfroGreenTech, Cameroon
According to the light power action report published by the Africa progress panel, 620,000,000 Africans are not connected
to the electricity grid. Moreover, the incomes of two-thirds of African families depend on agriculture. In most cases, it
is a subsistence farming whose labor is family and is practiced with rudimentary tools. Initiatives have been put in place to
organize farmers into cooperatives, but the lack of adequate monitoring leads to the ineffectiveness of this approach. Yet, with
global warming, we will face two major challenges: how to lead a development in breach with the energies of fossil origin?
And how can farmers be protected from the various risks associated with climate change? The answer to these two questions is
found with this is technology. Therefore, in order to provide farmers with the technology needed to improve production, crop
transformation and the adaptation to global warming that we have created AfroGreenTech. Here, we create a community made
up of farmer organizations, trainers, innovators, insurance institutions, investors and distributors. This will boost the sector
and produce a significant change.
Biography
Leuga Monkam Ignace Bertrand is the Co-founder of AfroGreenTech, a startup that is revolutionizing agriculture in Africa. He is passionate about the environment.
This allowed him to pursue studies in this field. In this sense, he carried out various studies, among which: “The inventory of forest exploitation in the locality of
Ngoume in the central region in Cameroon”. He then carried out an environmental impact study in the locality of Lolodove in the South region of Cameroon. Sub-
sequently, he worked on the valorization of non-hospital organic waste at the Mother and Children Center of the Chantal Biya Foundation. He also worked on the
management of plastic waste in the locality of Ngaoundere.
