Project Summary / Description:

Our initiative focuses on scaling biochar production to combat climate change and support sustainable farming practices. Starting with one operational site supporting 20 farmers, we are expanding to two new sites using a modular approach. This includes structured training programs, knowledge exchange among farmers, and funding support to establish and equip each site. By integrating biochar into agricultural practices, we enhance soil regeneration, sequester carbon, and create economic opportunities for local communities. This initiative serves as a replicable model for scalable climate action and sustainable development.

How Project Affects Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions:

['Removes/stores GHGs (e.g., projects that capture, sequester, or otherwise enhance the "sinks" that accumulate and store GHGs)']

Impact on Underrepresented Groups:

Our project empowers underrepresented groups, particularly rural farming communities, by creating local economic opportunities and fostering climate resilience. Many of these communities are disproportionately affected by climate change and often lack access to resources for sustainable development. By integrating biochar production into local agriculture, we provide tools and training to improve livelihoods while addressing environmental challenges.

We prioritize inclusivity in training programs, encouraging participation from women, youth, and marginalized groups to ensure equal access to economic and leadership opportunities. Our modular training model is designed to be accessible and adaptable, enabling individuals with varying skill levels and backgrounds to engage with the project.

Within our organization, we are committed to diversity and representation. Our team includes members from a range of professional, cultural, and geographic backgrounds, bringing varied perspectives to our work. This ensures that the project is designed with a broad, inclusive understanding of the needs of the communities we serve.

By focusing on rural and climate-vulnerable communities, our project not only addresses global carbon removal but also creates pathways for historically underrepresented groups to become active participants and leaders in the climate movement, fostering a more inclusive and equitable approach to climate action.
