Essam Al-Sharaby - Yemeni, West Asia

2018 Победитель | | Yemeni

My big idea is to produce organic agricultural products as part of a broader sustainable development strategy. I will develop and implement a number of practical measures to promote environmentally friendly agricultural production that supports human health and conserves natural resources. Specifically, I will develop clean and safe agricultural inputs such as organic fertilizers and herbicides which can compete with and displace the toxic chemicals which are currently in use across Yemen. Simultaneously, I will engage farmers, land owners and other stakeholders to promote environmental awareness and responsibility. I hope that my project will avert further pollution of the environment whilst generating economic opportunities and bossting human health.

I am Essam Al-Sharaby from Yemen. My work with Just Green has so far entailed the production, marketing and sales of organic agricultural products (fruits). I have also obtained an organic production certificate from the Environmental Protection Centre at Sana’a University Faculty of Agriculture. Additionally, I have made significant headway researching organic production in the laboratories of Yemen’s Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation. In 2016, I won “Best Product innovation” at the Yemen Foundation’s Entrepreneurship Competition. I obtained a certificate of appreciation from the government for my contributions to organic agriculture.
