Francis Bosah
Founder/Ceo
Francis Bosah is a Kiss the Ground (USA) and Permaculture Research Institute, (Australia) Scholar trained as a Soil Health Advocate and Professional Regenerative Agriculture Solutionary, working assiduously to catalyse the modern breakthrough understanding of the Soil Biology that will essentially make for the paradigm shift needed for the restoration/rebuilding of the structure, microbial life, nutrient density, and overall carbon levels of the African soils leveraging regenerative principles and practices (nature-based soil health management systems).
Following his commitment towards increased food and nutrition security in Africa, Francis, in the last 14 years, has sociologically investigated how the smallholder farming systems (which produce about 80 per cent of the entire food supply) work in Africa leading to the important conclusion that increased soil-degradation in smallholder farms, thanks to conventional agricultural practices, is the fundamental root cause of declining per capita food production across Africa.
To change this narrative, Francis is enthusiastically using the platform of his organizations to essentially demonstrate the possibility and viability of Regenerative Agriculture Paradigm as a social re-engineering, economic development and planetary management tool to bring about a whole new level of rethinking, culture, opportunities and realities that will make for increased food and nutrition security, while seamlessly drawing down atmospheric carbon and locking it down safely in the biosphere.
When it comes to the looming food and nutrition security threat in Africa, Francis believes in the superior Regenerative Thinking that says “The solution is under our feet”, and in harnessing and setting up every urban backyard space, patio, rooftop, fence wall and the like as agricultural fields to be regeneratively farmed for the feeding and liveability of the urban dwellers which will essentially reduce the pressure on the rural food production.
