Termite Soil Extract Sierra Leone
In Collaboration with Joshua Osman, a brilliant farmer in the Northern Province of Sierra Leone, I have conducted multiple trial plots since 2023 to discover how biologically rich extracts of termite hills can not only add an influx of organic nutrients to the soil, but how it can also strengthen community knowledge, resources, and equity.
Key Question
How can we design agroecological systems with termite colonies as the fulcrum of regeneration, and not of ecological segregation and overproduction?
Joshua reflects on the potential of termite soil extracts.
Joshua explains his background, reflects on this opportunity.
"Dear Drew, your dedication, expertise, and collaborative spirit played a pivotal role in achieving such positive results.
The thriving crops are a testament to our shared commitment to innovative agricultural practices."
