New Caledonian forest farming professional

Guillaume Vama is a Kanak agroforestry entrepreneur.

Life

Vama was born and raised on the Isle of Pines, New Caledonia. As a young adult, he participated in the European Solidarity Corps, taking part in a project in Hungary, where he made contact with a Hungarian permaculturalist at a university. On return to New Caledonia, he obtained a certificat d'aptitude professionnelle at the Chambre d’Agriculture de Nouvelle-Calédonie. He subsequently founded an association called TRADTECH, to complement modern agroforestry science with traditional techniques, and an association called Agir NC, to encourage entrepreneurship in agroforestry.

He was arrested in mid-2024, during the 2024 New Caledonia unrest, and accused by French authorities of being a member of the pro-independence Cellule de coordination des actions de terrain (CCAT). While incarcerated, he was transferred to Bourges, in metropolitan France.
