contents In this paper, we investigate the possibility of selecting high-redshift Lyman-Break Galaxies (LBG) using current and future broadband wide photometric surveys, such as UNIONS or the Vera C. Rubin LSST. This work is conducted in the context of DESI-II, the next phase of DESI, which will start around 2029. We use deep imaging data from HSC and CLAUDS on the COSMOS and XMM-LSS fields. To predict the selection performance of LBGs with image quality similar to UNIONS, we degrade the $u, g, r, i$ and $z$ bands to UNIONS depth. The Random Forest algorithm is trained with the $u,g,r,i$ and $z$ bands to classify LBGs in the $2.5 < z < 3.5$ range. We find that fixing a target density budget of $1,100$ deg$^{-2}$, the Random Forest approach gives a density of $z>2$ targets of $873$ deg$^{-2}$, and a density of $493$ deg$^{-2}$ of confirmed LBGs after spectroscopic confirmation with DESI. This UNIONS-like selection was tested in a dedicated spectroscopic observation campaign of 1,000 targets with DESI on the COSMOS field, providing a safe spectroscopic sample with a mean redshift of 3. This sample is used to derive forecasts for DESI-II, assuming a sky coverage of 5,000 deg$^2$. We predict uncertainties on Alcock-Paczynski parameters $α_\perp$ and $α_{\parallel}$ to be 0.7$\%$ and 1$\%$ for $2.6<z<3.2$, resulting in a potential 2$\%$ measurement of the dark energy fraction at high redshift. Additionally, we estimate the uncertainty in local non-Gaussianity and predict $σ_{f_{\rm NL}}\approx 7$, which would be comparable to the current best precision achieved by \textit{Planck}. The latter forecast suggests that achieving the precision required to place stringent constraints on inflationary models ($σ_{f_{\rm NL}} \approx 1$) using spectroscopic galaxy surveys necessitates the development of a next-generation (Stage V) spectroscopic survey.
