Impact on Underrepresented Groups:

1.Local Circular Economy/Indigenous Economics:
The unique CAPEX/OPEX light, decentralised nature of the project enables both scalability and participation by (geographically/financially/logistically)remote communities typically underserved by conventional financial and physical infrastructure. This allows for localised circular economy opportunities to ‘leapfrog’ advanced economies and participate profitably, one with indigenous income generation for women/ youth/indigenous/food-insecure communities. Value is retained indigenously wherever organic wastes/residues exist. Our ability to take waste, a major contributor to the climate problem, and convert it into a solution that simultaneously provides financial, food, water and climate resilience for all participating communities (especially local). 

2.Agricultural Communities:
The project demonstrably improves the farmer’s bottomline, shifting from reliance on costly chemical interventions towards leveraging on ecosystem services provided by improved soils. Farmers are both vulnerable to and traditionally underrepresented in climate action. They can immediately participate to achieve bottomline impact while gaining a new income stream from the recarbonisation of topsoil. Food&Ag- typically considered significant contributors to the climate crisis- can now play a disruptive role as massive, permanent carbon sinks, inherently buffering against the climate pressures on Food&Ag systems (drought, pathogens, heatwaves, flood erosion, residue burns). This means farmers are now rewarded for their contribution in climate action.
