Food, Agriculture and the Environment 2011-2013
The material covered in the course helped me learn many things about biodiversity: how forests benefit agriculture, how organic farming helps the conservation of genetic diversity, how agricultural activities affect the quality of the environment, and the significance of urban agriculture in meeting world food requirements. The most valuable topic for me was “Quality and Safety in Food and Agricultural Products.” I will use this information to sensitise my community concerning agricultural activities.

Green Salary 2010-2011
The course material has broadened our scope of reasoning concerning income generating activities linked with environmental conservation. We will be able to use this material to come up with new project ideas and enhance our lobbying techniques. We believe that we can learn a lot from the green buildings module. Masango Sone, Executive Director, Green Cameroon, Cameroon
Natural Resources
The material in this course has been helpful to me and the Organisation in enriching our material on what we already had on the topics. We teach environmental education in secondary and primary schools and the course gives us more mastery on some of those technical aspects and facts. The most valuable aspects to me are the introductory modules on forest, soil and water. Masango Sone, President, “Green Cameroon,” Cameroon
Sustainable Agriculture 2010
The material in the course is very helpful to us since we are presently working with communities in the setting up of organic farms and integrated pest management techniques. The material therefore gives us more insight on the subject. The module on agriculture and waste will also be very helpful in our work with large-scale plantations as we intend on persuading them to switch to the use of organic fertilizers. Masango Sone, Green Cameroon President, Cameroon
Sustainable Forest Protection and Management 2011-2013
A great part of our work has to do with students at the level of environmental clubs. The material has been very helpful towards this purpose and I found it easy to contextualise and give the students and myself another perspective on forests and related issues which are part of our daily life. The most important aspect for me was the information on using the forest for recreation and other income generating activities as an alternative to clearing it. Masango Sone, Executive Director, Green Cameroon, Buea Town, Cameroon
The material covered in the course module helped me to learn many things about biodiversity: How forests benefit agriculture, how organic farming helps to conserve genetic diversity, how agricultural activities affect the quality of the environment, and the significance of urban agriculture in meeting world food requirements. The most valuable aspect of the course for me is “Woodland planting and establishment.” I will use this same information to sensitise my community on agricultural activity issues.
