Bridgers Resource Farm Comes to Fruition

This project is an ongoing agricultural scheme which involves the cultivation of food crops such as plantains; cassava; as well as economic trees including cocoa; avocado; pineapple; mango; plum; guava; tangerine; coconut; soursop; oranges, moringa as well as sugar cane.

The goals for this agricultural scheme is to realize a resource farm containing the above mentioned crops and trees that will serve as an avenue for training vulnerable women in Cameroon on sustainable large scale agriculture. This farm shall equally serve as seeds bank for such beneficiary women to enable them establish their own individual farms for economic purposes. Equally children education shall be enhanced through the award of scholarships. Also, some of the economic trees which will be nursed in this farm will be planted in different school milieus accompanied by environmental education passed on to the pupils and students of the beneficiary schools within the Center Region of Cameroon. In addition, the proceeds that will be realized from this farm shall go a long way to ensure the sustainability of the activities of our Organization and subsequent reinvestment in to the farm.

Call to Action

So far, the vast farm land has been acquired; the plantain; cassava, pineapple and economic trees planted, however, to maximize crop survival and output/harvest, there is the need to install an irrigation system in this farm to ensure that crops have enough water and prevent the effects of drought, and most importantly, soil friendly fertilizers and pesticides shall be required. To prevent postharvest losses, we intent to put in place solar dryers and other machineries for cassava and plantain transformation. There is equally the need for workers to be deployed to take care of the crops as they grow. Both human and financial resources shall be required to carry out environmental education in schools involving the planting of economic trees. We intend to gain a larger market by exporting both natural and transformed plantains (plantain chips and flour) to countries within Africa and the developed world.
