Location:  Northern Uganda
Description: This project aims to rejuvenate degraded soils through the use of cover crops and organic composting techniques. By improving soil health, farmers can increase crop yields and enhance biodiversity in the region.
Benefits:

• Climate: Reduced carbon emissions through enhanced soil carbon sequestration.
• Community: Increased agricultural productivity and food security.
• Biodiversity: Restoration of native plant species and improved habitat for local wildlife.

Location: Northern Uganda – West Nile
Description: This initiative focuses on planting non-fruit trees with farmers across the West Nile Region. Trees are integrated directly into farmlands, restoring soil health, improving climate resilience, and strengthening ecosystems. Farmers actively participate, making the trees part of sustainable farm systems.
Focus Trees:

• Calliandra (soil fertility & fodder)
• Sesbania (green manure & soil improvement)
• Neem (pest control, shade, carbon capture)
• Grevillea robusta (timber, windbreaks, shade)
• Leucaena (nitrogen-fixing & fodder)
• Moringa (soil enrichment & fodder)
• Acacia spp. (erosion control & biodiversity support)

Benefits

🌍 Climate

• Captures carbon and reduces greenhouse gas emissions
• Improves soil structure and fertility

🤝 Community

• Provides fodder and timber for income
• Strengthens local livelihoods

🦋 Biodiversity

• Supports pollinators and wildlife
• Enhances ecosystem diversity

Location: Western Uganda
Description: By implementing carbon farming practices, this project helps farmers adopt techniques that increase soil organic matter and store carbon. Practices include no-till farming, cover cropping, and the use of biochar.
Benefits:

• Climate: Significant carbon sequestration and mitigation of climate change.
• Community: Financial incentives from carbon credits and improved soil fertility.
• Biodiversity: Support for diverse plant and animal life through healthier ecosystems.
