This proposal will activate a targeted group of stakeholders to expand trial agroforestry installations to new locations in mid-Missouri.
African agroforestry systems enhancing carbon storage maintain sustainability and mitigate climate change. How much carbon? That’s matter!
Woody Agriculture converts annual cropland to staple-food-producing woody plants, capturing 3 times the carbon. It's time to scale it up.
Poverty stricken & war torn, Nicaragua's people strive for healthy environs & Cecalli has ambitious plans to improve life via reforestation.
To incentivize sustainable land use and forest conservation, EcoLogic employs the agroforestry method “alley-cropping with Inga edulis.”
Carbon storage can be increased by promoting the social forestry and non-destructive use of wood. Barani areas of pakistan are suitable.
The ocean has unlimited space for seaweed forests, the only profitable method to remove 2 trillion tons of CO2 from air and water.
The use of biochar in restoring the Washington State's Elwha River valley will define carbon-negative restoration projects globally.

The pitch of the project is dairy Goats Husbandry for Improvement of Community Livelihoods and Biodiversity Conservation of Usambaras
self reliant community of men and women who are social-economic and environmentally conscious and sustainable
Geo-Safe (CDR) is a self-funded and effective Carbon Dioxide and Methane Removal Process where all benefits go directly back to the people!
Carbon emissions can be reversed by reforestation of a Canadian and international land area roughly the size of USA (982,663,000 hectares).
Imagine combining "The Man Who Stopped the Desert" (Yacouba Sawadogo), Cradle-to-Cradle design (Bill McDonough), + Veta la Palma fish farm.
Green Farmers Rural Radio is a major initiative that will benefit the rural poor farmers living in rural and isolated communities
Restoring soil carbon is simple, no-tech, free, has beneficial effects on biodiversity and water cycles, and can reverse global warming (1).
Urban forestry and agro-forestry can help minimize cities' contribution to climate change, while making our cities more resilient.
Pakistan’s National Sustainable Development Strategy promotes an economic growth without uncontrolled exploitation of natural resources
I would like to solve multiple problems; hunger, forest, climate, poverty, unemployment, international relations, help to others and so on.
Hands-on skills building in agroforestry and organic farming for young people in schools found in rural communities for a sustainable future
