ROOT: BACTERIAL BIOCELLULOSE APPLIED TO REGENERATIVE MODELS FOR ECOLOGICAL RESTORATION AND FOOD SOVEREIGNTY.

In response to the growing climate crisis and environmental degradation, this research explores the convergence of industrial design and biotechnology to mitigate desertification in the Sahel. The project materializes as a bio-encapsulation system made from bacterial cellulose membranes, designed to optimize seed germination rates in extreme climates compared to conventional sowing.

This method is grounded in laboratory trials that confirm the biomaterial's capacity to act as an optimal moisture reservoir. As a socio-ecological system, this interface empowers local communities, making them active participants in their own comprehensive sovereignty through a regenerative model.
