Advancing Land Restoration
We fight climate change by helping
African farmers restore their farms.
We restore land in existing agricultural supply chains to help farmers earn more income.
While least responsible for climate change, smallholder farmers in the developing world are the most at-risk from our changing environment. They are also key players in creating more sustainable nature-based climate solutions. GECA connects sustainable agriculture systems to international carbon markets for a carbon-neutral society. We work with farmers in established agricultural supply chains to engage in agroforestry that improves their farms and increases farm yields while monetarily incentivizing them to engage in sustainable and climate-smart practices.
We promote agroforestry in semi-arid areas.
GECA has targeted several semi-arid areas to work with farmers most at risk from climate change. We promote the use of drought-resistance indigenous trees. This project in particular plants endangered trees - the African Olive and Melia Volkensii.
To date, we have planted 100,000+ trees with 600+ smallholder farmers.
We work with farmers to improve degraded lands.
GECA works with farmers in commodity agricultural supply chains like coffee and croton whose farms are degraded from over-farming and the use of unsustainable agricultural practices. These farmers receive training and plant trees to organically improve the quality of their soil as well as improve their farm yields.
To date, we have planted 100,000+ trees with 600+ smallholder farmers.
This equates to a reduction of 2000 CO2e tons - farmers will earn an additional $25 for maintaining their trees.
