🌍 Global Climate & Carbon Dioxide Removal goals cannot be met without restoring African soils to health. 🌱 Soil is the largest terrestrial carbon reservoir, storing twice as much carbon as the atmosphere & vegetation combined: 2500Pg C. 📕 30%: of land on the planet that is severely degraded. 📗 60%: of all arable land on the planet is in Africa. 📘 40%: of Africa’s agricultural lands are degraded from overuse of synthetic fertilizers & conventional agricultural practices. 📙 60%: increase in food production required by 2050. 📔 3 X: the increase by which climate impacts will be felt in Africa. 📚 4%: Africa’s contribution to global CO2 emissions. 🌏 We all have an an existential interest in supporting those working on the front lines of climate. The world is long overdue in recognizing the critical importance of soil health to: solving climate; scaling CDR; food, water & yes, energy, security; reducing CO2 emissions from agriculture (17% of global CO2) & adjacent industries; reducing short lived but powerful climate pollutants; climate adaptation; biodiversity (underpins 90% of the global economy); national security; and so much more. 🌎 We all have an urgent interest in supporting teams working hard, often unseen and undercelebrated, to turn on the capacity of African soils to drawdown & store CO2, provide ecosystem services, & feed the planet. 💫 Please support this team in their work to restore East African soils and the talented organizations and individuals working across Africa to restore local soil health. 🚀 If you work in climate, CDR, finance, biodiversity, impact, investing, or luxury goods & businesses with biodiversity exposure, invest in Africa, its soils, its people, its climate & social impact entrepreneurs. It’s the smartest investment you’ll ever make with an ROI that’s off the charts.

Black Mamba is proudly #GenerationRestoration 🌱🔥🌶️🌍 Today is #WorldEnvironmentDay2024, and this year's theme is #OurLandOurFuture: Land Restoration, Desertification and Drought Resilience. Did you know that the cure to fix our planet is right under our feet?! Regenerative agriculture is a complete game-changer that can actually help us to slow down climate change. Read more about this amazing set of farming principles on our blog, and how our southern African partner Guba impartings knowledge that helps small-scale farmers like our Eswatini suppliers to go beyond merely sustaining the soil and our planet, to actually leave it better than we found it.

On this #WorldEnvironmentDay, we’re highlighting the severe impacts of climate change on smallholder farmers. The foundation’s director of Agricultural Delivery Systems Enock Chikava’s recent op-ed emphasizes the critical need for innovative farming solutions, sustainable soil management, and improved access to climate data to help family farms adapt to extreme weather conditions caused by our changing climate. https://bit.ly/4aVwaE9

Over 250 million Africans face food insecurity, and climate change is only making it worse. Climate change poses a major threat to food production, causing extreme weather events that disrupt agriculture and impact millions. But there’s hope! By adopting sustainable farming, climate-smart techniques, and resilient crops, we can enhance food security and reduce emissions🌾 Empowering local farmers with these solutions is key to building a stable, food-secure future for all. Swipe through to learn how we can make a difference together! Share your thoughts!

📢 Heard at #ClimateWeek: ⏳ We often talk about the life expectancy of our degraded soils. A decade ago it was projected by the United Nations FAO that we had just 60 harvests left, a message meant to create urgency and which has continued to be amplified and debated ever since. 👣 Alongside this urgency, though, we also need hope and a pathway to activate change. 🌎 To me, the statement below from agroecologist Timothy Bowles at a recent Climate Week event serves as a simple but powerful reminder that the natural progression then, is to a narrative that tells us where to go next. 🎯 Healthy, living soil that can regenerate and live on without an expiration date is that place. It serves as the foundation for thriving, regenerative agriculture and food systems that support healthy people, healthy communities, healthy climate and a healthy planet. #soil #soilhealth #regeneration #agroecology #farming #climatemitigation #climateadaptation

“The yields of certain crops in Africa have already dropped by several percentage points, because of warming and drought. So, you can’t possibly talk about sustainable agriculture without talking about climate change,” says Professor Guy Midgley, Head of the School for Climate Studies at Stellenbosch University, South Africa via Forbes Africa While our SecondSky crop covers show improvements in only one season, ultimately we are passionate about the long-term global effects of our technologies, in the face of a growing climate change crisis. We believe that by advancing commercial farming for low to mid-tech farmers in hot climates globally, we can mitigate the risks of climate change and foster a more sustainable, food-secure future.

Happy World Soil Day! 🌱 Today, we celebrate the crucial role soil plays in food security, climate resilience, and ecosystem health. Soil is more than just dirt—it’s the foundation of our food systems, a key player in the water cycle, and a powerful ally in the fight against climate change! Yet, degraded soil threatens biodiversity, water retention, and carbon storage, leaving us vulnerable to floods, droughts, and food insecurity. Did you know.. we lose 24 billion tons of fertile soil every year to erosion? 😱 The solution? Regenerative agriculture. By supporting practices like: 🌾 No-till farming 🌱 Cover cropping 🌳 Agroforestry ...we can: ✅ Restore soil health and fertility ✅ Improve water retention and prevent erosion ✅ Boost biodiversity and create resilient ecosystems ✅ Turn agricultural fields into carbon sinks World Soil Day reminds us that healthy soil is essential for food security, climate resilience, and biodiversity. Let’s commit to supporting regenerative agriculture and protecting this invaluable resource! #WorldSoilDay #RegenerativeAgriculture #SoilHealth #ClimateAction #Biodiversity

Today, we celebrate the backbone of our food systems and custodians of our land. Farmers are crucial partners in combating climate change. Their efforts in sustainable agriculture contribute significantly to carbon sequestration. Let's support and empower our farmers to build a greener future. #nanenane #Tanzaniaandclimatechange #climatechange #farmersdayTanzania #farmersday #carbontrading #farmersinAfrica #BaobabCarbonAfrica
