Christian Adoh is a social entrepreneur from Benin with more than a decade of experience advancing sustainable agriculture, circular economy solutions, and community-led development. Growing up in rural communities where many smallholder farmers face degraded soils, climate vulnerability, and persistent poverty inspired him to dedicate his career to developing solutions that improve livelihoods.
He is a Senior Technician in Rural Engineering and holds a Diploma in Tropical Agricultural Studies, alongside a Diploma in Social Innovation from the United Nations-Mandated University for Peace. Christian is the Chief Executive Officer of BIO PLANET TMC Ltd, a climate-smart social enterprise that converts biodegradable waste into affordable organic fertilizers while providing climate education, technical assistance, and sustainable farming support to rural communities. The enterprise has supported thousands of women and Indigenous smallholder farmers, helping strengthen agricultural resilience, improve food security, and enhance rural livelihoods across Benin and West Africa.
Christian is a Mandela Washington Fellowship Alumnus in the Leadership in Business track at Alabama Agricultural and Mechanical University, a Mastercard Foundation Scholars Program Alumnus, and a 2026 Enterprising Futures One Young World Scholar supported by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He has represented African-led climate solutions at UNCCD COP16 in Riyadh, the ChangeNOW Summit in Paris, and the FAO World Food Forum in Rome, where he advocates for regenerative agriculture, ecological restoration, and inclusive economic development across Africa.
