Project Summary / Description:

An operational integrated organic farm launched in 2023 in Mali, combining agroecological crop production, composting, solar-powered irrigation, livestock integration, and future aquaculture to reduce emissions, restore soils, and improve rural livelihoods.

How Project Affects Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions:

['Replaces/avoids GHGs (e.g., projects that replace sources of GHGs, such as the burning of fossil fuels for electricity, heat, transport, or other energy uses)', 'Reduces GHGs (e.g., projects that reduce sources of GHGs, such as through efficiency or other changes in consumption)', 'Removes/stores GHGs (e.g., projects that capture, sequester, or otherwise enhance the "sinks" that accumulate and store GHGs)']

Impact on Underrepresented Groups:

The project empowers underrepresented groups by placing rural communities at the center of climate action through a cooperative and inclusive governance model. The cooperative includes a strong representation of women and young adults, who actively participate in decision-making, production, and income-generating activities.

By reducing dependence on costly external inputs and fossil fuels, the project strengthens economic autonomy for smallholder farmers and traders, particularly women who are often most affected by climate and market shocks. Skills development in agroecology, renewable energy use, composting, and cooperative management enhances local capacity and long-term resilience.

The project also creates opportunities for youth employment and leadership in sustainable agriculture, offering practical alternatives to migration and informal labor. Through its focus on locally adapted solutions, the initiative supports climate-vulnerable rural populations while ensuring that benefits are equitably shared across the community.
