is 22 years old and comes from a farming family. As a child she used to work in the family farm with her grandmother. From the age of 13 she started her own poultry enterprise. This environment whetted her appetite for agriculture. After her scientific baccalaureate she joined Aix Marseille University Institute of Technology in France to study agriculture. In 2019 she began studies at Montpellier SupAgro for an agriculture engineering degree which she will finish in 2022, with agrifood as her major subject. Being an entrepreneur from childhood, while at the Institute of Technology, Marie set up an enterprise called AFRICAGRICULTURE. This enterprise based in Senegal aims to build the capacity of farmers and agripreneurs in agrifood. She is co-managing the enterprise with her colleague Octave Emmanuel FAYE in Senegal and together they will be making good use of the smart projector for training. Her ambition is to own a well-known company in Senegal that helps millions of people out of poverty (mostly women and youth) by assisting them both technically (capacity-building) and financially.
