I had a productive day advancing the climate-smart initiative of carbon credit sequestration with the Colombian ambassador to Kenya, focusing on empowering youth through the 'Youths for the Future' program. Key insights discussed included enhancing carbon credit projects, leveraging agroforestry for carbon sequestration, and sustaining climate-smart agriculture in Kenya. #carboncreditsequestration, #climatesmartagric#youth4future
Our #microfarming projects with the #LDFoundation aim to drive socio-economic and environmental sustainability.
🌽In Kenya, the creation of a shared value chain for maize production is expected to lead to a 50% increase in farm productivity through training, practical demonstrations, and improved market access, with a focus on women and youth.
🌳In Brazil, we’re working to empower traditional agricultural communities to implement agroecological practices and obtain organic certifications to unlock access to new markets.
🐄🌱In Argentina, we’re providing farmers with technical assistance, access to water and training, which is significantly increasing livestock and horticulture productivity and, ultimately, family incomes.
