Writing a how-to book for Africa

I’ve been a member on ECHOcommunity for years and forgot all about it. Now I have a reason to log back on, and…this place is awesome!!

Anyway, I work in Central Chad, and I’m writing a book. My goal is to write a compendium of illustrated “how-to” instructionals for as many regenerative ag techniques as possible. From banana circles to agro-forestry strips to biological fertilizers, farmers need the basic instructions with illustrations that will empower them to choose what is appropriate for their context.

There are lots of specialized books out there, but we cannot supply rural farmers with a library; they need one go-to resource that is light on philosophy and rich in information.

I have many years experience in African ag, but most of it from the central sub-saharan context. I also have experience gardening in the wet tropics of Asia, but I need more broad climatic experience. That’s where you come in. If this project sounds interesting to you please feel free to send me a message. I need people who can read what I’ve written and give input from your climate experience.

I am glad to read from you. I am also an author, member of MIT Alumni for Climate Action (MACA) and one of my books is Unity for Good Living Initiative that is a good idea and book for volunteers worldwide. Can we partner? If yes, what will be the target and how can our partnership produce optimum output
