Why Sustainable Agriculture is the Foundation of Community Resilience

Our Agricultural Engineer Coordinator explains why we invest in smallholder farmers — and why the returns go far beyond harvest season.

Mr. KUM Jude Kawzu, Lead Coordinator for Sustainable Agricultural Programs at THE LIGHT, brings over nine years of experience in cooperative systems and rural finance. Under his leadership, our agricultural programme promotes regenerative farming methods, farmer cooperative systems, and rural financial literacy.

Food insecurity remains one of the most pressing challenges in rural Cameroon. But food security is not just about planting crops — it is about building systems that are resilient to climate change, market volatility, and crisis. That is what we are building together with the smallholder farming communities we serve.
