Innovation:

While ILAMAF currently relies on established sustainable practices, we are exploring the potential of vertical farming techniques for growing specific high-value herbs indoors with minimal water usage. This could significantly increase our yield and product diversity while reducing our environmental footprint.

Web3 Integration:

We recognize the growing importance of web3 technologies. We are currently investigating the feasibility of implementing blockchain-based traceability for our products. This would provide consumers with complete transparency about the origin and ethical sourcing of their food, further strengthening our commitment to sustainability. Additionally, we are exploring the potential of using cryptocurrencies for microfinancing of local farmers who adopt sustainable practices or for rewarding them based on their environmental impact metrics.

Team Expertise:

Our team comprises experienced professionals with a strong background in sustainable agriculture. Mr Maimo Brandon Dz, our team lead has over 8 years experience in Business development and project Managemeng.   Al-Mahdi Djidda, our operations manager, holds a degree in business management and possesses expertise in resource efficiency and waste reduction through multiple international trainings.
Chuo Denis our Head Agricultural specialist has over 10 years of experience in organic farming practices and soil health improvement.
Tamunjoh Rommel our head accountant has a degree in accounting and is an ACCA certified accountant.

Future Plans:

Our vision for ILAMAF extends beyond our current operations. We plan to expand our farm size within the next two years to cater to the growing demand for our products.  Furthermore, we aim to replicate our model in neighboring communities and countries within Africa, empowering other farmers to adopt sustainable practices and contribute to a wider positive environmental impact.  
We are also developing educational programs to train local farmers in sustainable agriculture techniques, fostering knowledge sharing and long-term environmental stewardship within the community.

Partnerships:

We are actively seeking partnerships to support ILAMAF's goals. We are currently in discussions with the Institute for Sustainable Agriculture Research (ISAR) to collaborate on research projects focused on optimizing water usage and soil health in our specific climate. 
Additionally, we are exploring potential partnerships with local NGOs and companies working on food security initiatives and with the Ministry of Agriculture to advocate for wider adoption of sustainable practices in Cameroon.

We plan to setup small vertical farms for vulnerable people, widows and elderly to provide them vegetables and cash crops which will serve as a source of food, exercice and mental growth.
