#MEET Back to Eden

This is a short interview we conducted with Ponsak Yamsat, the creator of Back to Eden. If you like this project and would like to vote for it, click here.


1. Please, tell us a bit about yourself: where are you from and what is your background?

I'm a Nigerian born Engineer and Entrepreneur, with a strong agricultural background from rural parents. Married with a single child. The love for agriculture from my early and growing years is the motivation for the things I do.

2. Can you describe your idea or project in two sentences?

The balance of agricultural processes and the balance with nature is the main goal of my project. Plants and animals integrated together at different sites to ensure symbiotic profitable relationships.

3. How did you get your idea or concept?

After studying engineering and understanding the benefits of mechanization and its impact on nature, the need and desire to make agriculture beneficial to both man and nature is the drive for the project.

4. What is unique about your idea/project and how does it benefit mankind?

The fact that we can both benefit from agricultural processes without harming nature. Not using pesticides or chemical fertilizers which harm the environment, agricultural processing to prevent waste, mixed plant and animal farms (Jatropha and honey bees) providing fuel and food in the same space. The balance of man and nature is the chief benefit to mankind, food, and finance not at the detriment of the environment.

5. Describe yourself as an entrepreneur in one sentence

Multi-skilled, eager to learn and patient for growth and profits.

6. How do you deal with people that doubt your abilities/initiatives?

I explain my reasons and press on and allow them to see the outcome for themselves.

7. Where does your passion lie?

Agriculture and ICT. Slow steady growth and development.

8. What are you afraid of or what keeps you up at night?

I'm afraid of quick profits that don't last and stay up figuring out how to make processes that work for both man and environment.

9. According to you, money is a synonym for.....

Patient and enduring hard work.

10. If you could rid the world of three things, what would they be?

  1. Poverty
  2. Greed
  3. Impatience

11. What are the benefits you take from the Entrepreneurship Campus?

Quality business education at no cost.

12. What do you like more about the Entrepreneurship Campus?

The ability to self-develop, learn and improve quality business principles.

13. Which idea/project do you like most?

I've taken time to go through a few but I like the one about Tomato processing, and another one about Cassava processing, they both reduce post harvest losses and create profit.

Your opinion on what you like about the YCEC@ Back to Eden is impressive. Being a young person I am quite interested in creating the world, I desire to see and live. I believe that if all young persons have this mind, we will surely recreate the world because we are the future generation. If we recreate our world now, tomorrow will live in the world we desire and our children will see the world in a different perspective from what we are presently seeing and living.
“You may live in the world as it is, but you can still work to create the world as it should be” Michelle Obama

I hope it is not just a wish but it is accompanying with actions because it is actions that can create the world we so desire to live in.

Thank you campus administrator for including this item in your interview questions.
