🌱 Rethinking Entrepreneurship Through Innovation and Sustainable Agriculture
I am honored to be facilitating a Masterclass at FIARA 2026 under the theme:
“Entrepreneurship and Culture Differently: Hydroponics, Aquaponics & Sustainable Agriculture.”
As President of ONG Malado, and as a jurist and entrepreneur, I see entrepreneurship not simply as the creation of businesses, but as a powerful instrument for innovation, economic inclusion, youth empowerment and sustainable development.
Our discussion will explore how hydroponic and aquaponic systems, resource-efficient production, circular economy principles, climate-smart agriculture, and agri-tech innovation can contribute to more resilient food systems—particularly in contexts facing water scarcity, climate pressure and limited arable land.
For Africa and the Sahel, the challenge is not only to produce more, but to produce smarter, sustainably and inclusively.
This Masterclass will also be an opportunity to connect entrepreneurship, education, policy, legal frameworks and innovation, while encouraging young people to view agriculture not only as a traditional sector, but as a growing field for technology, investment, enterprise and professional opportunities.
I look forward to sharing ideas, learning from other participants, and contributing to meaningful conversations around the future of sustainable agriculture and entrepreneurship.
Innovation becomes transformative when knowledge is turned into action.
