Abdallah Nyangason
I am a Tanzanian beekeeper, api-tourism guide, apitherapy practitioner, and community educator. I am the founder of African Bees Consultants, an organization dedicated to representing Africanized bees as a force for ecological resilience and economic justice. Our work is built on three pillars: conserving African forests through beekeeping, eliminating poverty in local communities through commercial beekeeping, and connecting African producers with international markets. I offer api-tourism experiences, apitherapy treatments, beehive air inhalation sessions, and bee consultation services — blending ancestral knowledge with modern ecological practice. I also serve as a board member of The Lulu Foundation, an international NGO based in California that supports community-led innovation across Africa. My work is grounded in the belief that African bees — and the communities who tend them — hold solutions the world urgently needs.
Sessions
Each day at KINDEROPOLIS, children will explore the natural surroundings at Alte Hölle and the "Tree of Life."
How do small-scale agroecological farmers successfully incorporate and govern their own technologies? This session bridges the vital social dimensions of decentralized tech with real-world, grassroots applications. Drawing from her work in Brazil, Nadia Coelho Pontes will open the session by unpacking the human, cultural, and community elements required to build digital infrastructure that truly serves local needs. The session will then transition into case studies from Luke Smith (Origin Co-op), Tamisha Lee (Jamaica Network of Rural Women Producers), and Abdallah Nyangason (African Bee Consultants), who will share their firsthand experiences building community-led solutions across different global contexts.
Finally, all presenters will converge for a 30-minute interactive discussion, inviting attendees to synthesize the learnings and reflect on their own contexts and regions.
