Elhadji Malick Sagne is addressing the issue of land degradation in Senegalese agriculture, exacerbated by poor practices and climatic variability. His proposed solution involves an agroecological farm that harnesses cacti for energy and organic fertilizer, utilising a biodigester to produce methane and transform it into electrical energy, ensuring the production of healthy fruits and vegetables without chemical residues at a lower cost.
