Enhancing the genetic diversity and variability of crops and livestock for the agroecological transition
We are looking for partners to collaborate on Subtopic 1.2 for further develop the use of agroforestry as a tool to both reforest degraded land and empower smallholder farmers in Senegal.
We have expertise in engineering and design, biology and international development. We have experience developing projects with a social and environmental purpose with rural communities, where agroecology is a central element. Our experience, network, and field of work, allow us to test and develop projects directly with the communities we want to serve.
Féro is a Dutch-Senegalese social enterprise whose mission is to empower rural communities in Senegal through higher agricultural productivity and job creation. We develop circular, climate-resilient agricultural infrastructure for smallholder farmers and train them to manage it. Our work integrates mid-tech greenhouses with agroforestry systems and solar-powered cold storage, designed to boost productivity, reduce post-harvest losses, and regenerate degraded land. paulamedina@ferodesign.nl
