African Field Partner Seeking EU Lead — Smallholder Livestock Nutrient Circularity & GHG Reduction, Cameroon NWR
BASDEC
Bamenda, Cameroon
About
We develop and deploy low-cost IoT-enabled precision agriculture systems for smallholder farmers in humid tropical agro-ecosystems. Our flagship pilot integrates a multi-sensor array (NH₃, CH₄, temperature/humidity, soil moisture) with real-time data logging to optimise the water-nutrient-energy nexus at farm level — closing the loop between livestock waste streams and adjacent food crop production.
Our work directly addresses nitrogen volatilisation losses (NH₃ off-gassing), methane emissions from unmanaged manure, and degraded feed conversion in smallholder poultry systems. We operate in a post-crisis agricultural context with established links to farmer cooperatives, government extension services (MINADER/MINEPIA), and women-led horticultural groups across Bamenda I, II and III. We are seeking a European research institution to lead a Horizon Europe consortium under HORIZON-CL6-2027-02-FARM2FORK-02 in which we serve as the African field implementation and data collection partner.
