Meet Theophilus Delali Dumenyo, Founder and CEO of E-Organics, formerly Ento Organics, a youth-led climate agritech company based in Ghana. An agricultural economist and food systems researcher currently pursuing a Master’s in Local Food Policy at CIHEAM in Italy, Theophilus’ work sits at the intersection of climate resilience, food systems, agricultural economics and digital innovation.
Climate change has added a new layer of uncertainty and injustice, especially for farming communities. Farmers have been planting crops based on seasonal patterns they had trusted for years, but are now facing erratic rainfall, longer dry spells, and declining soil fertility.These impacts further stress existing inequalities by affecting those with the least access to timely information, technology, or financial support to adapt to rapid changes.
“Climate change was not only an environmental problem. It was also a justice issue, a livelihoods issue, and a food systems issue,” says Theophilus. “That made the challenge personal. I could not ignore the fact that communities feeding the nation were being left exposed to risks they did not create.”
Climate information that is practical and accessible to all
E-Organics began its community-based work in southern Ghana, including Bewoanum, Fianko and Obrakyere, , and has since expanded across northern communities including Gbulung, Gingani Village, Nakpatua, Dalun, Voggu, Zangbalung, Gupanerigu and Bontanga. The organization combines automated weather stations, farmer profiling, hyper-local advisories, community training, SMS, voice support and local-language engagement.
