PAGRIS aims to reach 100,000 family farms and sustainably manage 14,000 ha of land. Donor - Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Burundi. PAGRIS is focusing on a sustainable impact by further upscaling the PIP (Participatory Integrated Plan) The PIP approach: building a foundation for sustainable change - WUR and the ISFM (Integrated Soil Fertility Management) Integrated Soil Fertility Management (ISFM) - IFDC. The PIP stimulates the implementation of a strategic process for sustainable development of households, communities, villages and watersheds. The project plays a facilitating role in the organization of target households and communities, together with other stakeholders for a common diagnostic phase, joint action planning and continuous learning. This ensures the integration of the motivation, resilience and responsibility as a solid foundation for sustainable development and the collaboration, empowerment, and integration as a guarantee to ensure this sustainable development. At technical level, the project also facilitates households, communities and other stakeholders to identify and jointly invest in a technical itinerary to protect soil, restore soil fertility and increase their productivity. Investments must be based on a participatory diagnosis, ensuring the integration of a package of complementary good agricultural practices, placing emphasis on the most limiting factors while considering available resources. In addition, farm plans at the household level must be aligned and complementary with community plans for the development of micro-watersheds to ensure full impact in terms of soil protection, natural resources management, and ecosystem management. This will strengthen the resilience of farms to shocks, particularly the effects of climate change, directly contributing to ensuring greater sustainability in increasing agricultural productivity and household income. | English | International Fertilizer Development Center | C2.8 Generate income opportunities | C2 Urge Soil Regeneration (GF) | Projet d’Appui pour une Gestion Responsable et Intégrée des Sols (PAGRIS) | NGO | C2.7 Co-create sustainable soil and land management practices | B1 Investment Plans (CF) | - IFDC - Feeding a Hungry World through Better Soil Health - Lead of the project - Wageningen Environmental Research - WUR - Participative and Learning Research - Twitezimbere ONG Local – National Partner implementing activities - ISABU – Institut des Sciences Agronomiques du Burundi – National Research Institue in Agriculture - Université du Burundi | Le grenier du savoir » Faculté d’Agronomie et Bio-Ingenierie – Research activities on soil Health | Ongoing | Agriculture development in Burundi is hindered by demographic pressure on lands, encroachment on natural resources, land overexploitation, soil mining, erosion of highland soils and land degradation.

| 0052 - 2030 Global Coffee Platform Brazil Collective Action for Farmer Prosperity | no | Small and medium coffee farmers up to 50 hectares. | Brazil | 3000000 | 48 | Climate change is a major threat to the largest coffee source in the world, putting farmers at high risk of not reaching or maintaining a living income and preserving the environment. There are 265,000 coffee farms in Brazil, 205,000 of which are small or medium-sized farms and 66% do not receive technical assistance making farmers more vulnerable to extreme climate events that directly impact productivity and long-term stability. In response, 2030 GCP Brazil Collective Action for Farmer Prosperity is based on climate-positive practices that contribute to increasing smallholder farmers' adaptation to climate change and capability to mitigate its effects while increasing income and decreasing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Its work plan embraces 4 strategies (Technical, Finance, Market, and Enabling Environment for Sustainable Coffee) and aims to reach 95,000 small and medium coffee farmers by 2030. It was built over the experience and learnings of GCP Brazil Platform since 2013 and aims to significantly gain impact and scale. This effort is grounded in a conceptual document on Regenerative Coffee Farming created collectively in 2023-2024, with broad participation of the Brazilian coffee sector through GCP Brazil’s consolidated governance. Practices are focused on enhancing soil health and nutrition, carbon stock, water conservation, and biodiversity, thus securing ecosystem services and contributing to farmers' prosperity, social well-being and environmental conservation. The transition to sustainable producing systems is based on seven essential elements, of which four are directly linked to soil health and carbon stock enhancement including rational fertilizer use and nutrition in depth, diversification of cover crops to increase organic matter, and bio inputs to build well-structured, fertile soils with deep root systems and active microbial life. Progress will be monitored through physical and chemical soil analyses and enzymatic activity assessments using Embrapa’s BioAS technology, along with evaluating implementation of the best practices over time. | English | P&A Ltda - formally representing/responsible for GCP in Brazil | C2.7 Co-create sustainable soil and land management practices | C2 Urge Soil Regeneration (GF) | 2030 Global Coffee Platform Brazil Collective Action for Farmer Prosperity | Company | C2.1 Establish formal dialogue C2.8 Generate income opportunities | C1 Advocacy & Awareness (CF) | Over the past 10 years, Global Coffee Platform Brazil has successfully worked with more than 40 GCP members, strategic partners, and its consolidated governance groups through collective action and pre-competitive work to promote and measure advances in sustainability among smallholder and medium farmers.

| 0049 - BiocharIND | yes | (1) Farmers (2) Women Self-Help Groups and Youth, as Rural Entrepreneurs manufacturing Biochar and (3) Forest Department (Clearance of Invasive Weeds in forests) | India | 2500000 | 36 | India produces more than 500 million tons of biomass annually. Most farm residue is left to decompose or is burnt, causing atmospheric pollution. Biochar is an elegant solution that simultaneously solves the problem of soil fertility and food poverty, while fighting climate change. We propose to rollout biochar through Rural Entrepreneurs in each village. Heartfulness Institute has extensively used Biochar in the last 8 years to develop Kanha Shanti Vanam, a barren land of 1,400 acres into a green oasis. Today, Heartfulness uses biochar in developing 15,000 acres of afforestation projects across India. In the last year, we have setup 8 Artisan Biochar units, produced about 250 tons of biochar, ran research trials in 5 crops, and are currently running farmer trials with 170 cotton farmers in Gujarat and Madya Pradesh, generating carbon credits. The need of the hour is to build this out for scale, evolve unit economics and create greater awareness in the market. Our proposal is to rollout biochar intervention integrated with other activities to drive a sustainable village model. across multiple villages. The scope of this intervention is: Heartfulness Institute is well connected to the Government of India and works closely with several State Governments. By setting up 10 model villages that extensively has applied biochar, we will be able to prove the impact of biochar at scale, reduce unit cost, work out unit economics, and influence policy makers, enabling recognition of this game-changing intervention and accelerating adoption across the country. | English | Heartfulness Institute | Setting up Model villages for full-scale Biochar demonstration across India (BiocharIND) | NGO | Our partners collectively work with 3 Million farmers across India. •UNCCD | Proposal stage | Biochar is completely aligned with the goals of 4P1000 as it: •Increases soil carbon •Improves crop yield and farmer’s income •Reverses climate change through permanent sequestration of Carbon in soil, lasting hundreds of years. •India produces 600+ million tons of biomass annually – This represents an enormous potential for scale. •Our approach to Biochar rollout combines it with Rural Entrepreneurship, positioning it as an alternative to fertilizer subsidies and solving the problem of invasive weeds taking over the forests of India. This comprehensive positioning by an NGO, which is recognized as a leader in the environmental sector is compelling and potent. | • India (Current focus) • Heartfulness Institute has a following in 160 countries worldwide and has the capability to scale it across the world, once the basic model is proven. | |||||||||||
| 0046 - RESTORSOIL | yes | Farmers, SHGs, FPOs, Fertilizer Companies | India | 1788055 | 60 | With the long-term view of fostering synergies between crop production, functional soil biodiversity and the delivery of a multitude of ecosystem services of relevance, the next generation mycorrhizal and microbiome-based biofertilizers can reduce the use of external chemical inputs while increasing crop production and soil health. Such interventions can be tailored to enhance plant qualities, soil properties and soil biodiversity along with sustained delivery of ecosystem services, soil organic carbon sequestration leading to augmented agricultural outputs as well as better soils. These can equip plants to respond to changing climates thereby leading to climate resilience. FAO indicated that 1/3rd of world’s soil is degraded (FAO, 2015). Even though a 50% increase in food demand is expected by 2050, achievement of this aim is likely to be jeopardized leading to serious concerns on food security. A healthy soil that can provide balanced nutrients to plants is essential for good crop production and higher immunity against biotic and abiotic factors. However, the situation is becoming exacerbated through excessive use of synthetic chemicals to increase crop production. Soils are becoming depleted in their carbon content, nitrate polluted ground water, and more nitrous oxide emissions into the air. At TERI, our Sustainable Agriculture Programme is a leading technology and product developer of bio -Agri inputs such as mycorrhiza and plant growth-enhancing bacteria. These technologies have been proven across different soils and countries in the world with pan India impacts. As a leading and responsible Fertilizer Company, we sincerely hope you will take the lead in promoting the use of bio- Agri inputs not only for productivity enhancement, crop nutrition and plant health but also with a renewed emphasis on revitalizing our deteriorating soils with balanced nutrition with a win-win situation for you, the farmer, and our country. | English | The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) | C2.7 Co-create sustainable soil and land management practices | C2 Urge Soil Regeneration (GF) | MORE PRODUCTION USING LESS AGRI INPUTS WHILE REJUVENATING OUR SOILS by HARNESSING SUSTAINABLE PLANT MICROBIOMES (RESTORSOIL) | NGO | C2.8 Generate income opportunities | A6 Conceptual Framework (CF) | Proposal stage | Climate change is leading to increasingly frequent and unexpected environment fluctuations worldwide which is significantly impacting soil health and quality along with food security. The soil microbiome- a functional network of microbes, influences the soil rhizosphere environment by balancing plant nutrition and soil properties. Rhizosphere microbiomes can improve plant growth and increase crop resilience in climatic fluctuations alongside nutrient modulations, carbon sequestration, soil benefits, positive impacts on soil microflora diversity and recruitment of synergistic microbes. Functional microbiomes not only provide multiple benefits to soil and plant health but also complements mitigation of extreme weather challenges faced by our farming communities. | India | ||||||||

| 0039 - PPERSUMSN | Non | Les jeunes et les agriculteurs burundais | N/A | 400000 | 36 | On estime que parmi les 800 millions de personnes dans le monde qui souffrent d’insécurité alimentaire, environ 180 millions (soit 23 %) vivent en Afrique subsaharienne. Les causes de l’insécurité alimentaire comprennent la croissance démographique rapide, l’inflation des prix alimentaires, la faible productivité agricole, le changement climatique, la sécheresse et l’insuffisance des investissements dans l’irrigation. Au Burundi, la majorité des sols cultivables sont acides et pauvres en nutriments et en matière organique, ce qui limite considérablement la production agricole du pays et pousse les agriculteurs familiaux du Burundi à adopter l'utilisation d'engrais chimiques dans le but de stimuler la production. En outre, les agriculteurs familiaux des pays en développement connaissent un manque d'aliments pour leur bétail, en particulier pour les volailles, les porcs et le poisson. Ainsi, l’utilisation d’engrais chimiques réduit la fertilité des sols cultivables, détruit l’environnement et nuit à la santé des êtres humains dans la plupart des régions du Burundi. Le manque d’aliments pour le bétail diminue les revenus des petits exploitants agricoles. Il est impératif de comprendre le rôle des mouches du soldat noir dans la production de fumier organique et d’aliments pour animaux. Par conséquent, ce projet a pour objectif de former les jeunes Burundais à l’utilisation des mouches du soldat noirs afin de transférer la technologie aux petits exploitants agricoles pour atténuer les défis ci-dessus en utilisant du fumier organique pour fertiliser leurs sols et produire des aliments organiques sûrs pour la santé humaine, animale et préserver l’environnement.

The country is subject to periodic extreme weather, making the local population highly vulnerable to climate change. In the context of agro-ecological intensification on a landscape scale as a development lever for low-carbon production in Madagascar, this project aims to quantitatively and qualitatively assess agronomic and environmental indicators by monitoring the physical, chemical and biological parameters related to the state of the soil fertility, land use and landscapes on a spatial and/or temporal scale and thus to highlight the impact of agricultural intensification and mitigation practices on ecosystem services, including soil fertility, carbon sequestration and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Work will be carried out at landscape levels covering wetlands, lowland crops and managed areas. The activities to be carried out will focus on environmental parameters, in particular the quantification of greenhouse gases, the determination of C storage, agronomic parameters, in particular the assessment of yields and physiological parameters, edaphic parameters, in particular the content of organic carbon (OC), available phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N), pH, cation exchange capacity (CEC), apparent density (AD) and soil texture, and the assessment of macrofauna. At the end of this project, on the basis of the various indicators and scientific data, we will be able to propose systems and practices that are sustainable, sequestering, resilient and low in GHG emissions. | French | Laboratoire des Radioisotopes-University of Antananarivo | C2.7 Co-create sustainable soil and land management practices | C2 Urge Soil Regeneration (GF) | Development of physical, chemical and biological indicators for landscape development in Madagascar | Research | - LABORATOIRE DES RADIOISOTOPES (LRI)-University of Antananarivo - Association TOSIKA (TONTOLO SY KAJY) - AMADESE (Association Malagasy pour le Développement Economique, Social et Environnemental) | Proposal stage | The implementation of this project would increase the soil quality including soil organic matter, soil nutrient and crop productivity. | Madagascar | |||||||||

Severely damaged soils are difficult and costly to rehabilitate. Restoration has been widely considered to address land degradation. Restoration the improving the productive resilience of land and returning it's functionality such as ability to withstand disturbance, control erosion, provide food etc. Agroforestry has been identified to be key in land restoration. Apart from land restoration, Agroforestry practices play a role in climate change. However concerns have been raised about the lack of materials like planting materials and detailed information on Agroforestry. This work was proposed to be carried out in four districts of Eastern Zambia where four tree species namely, tephrosia, leucaena, glyricidia and pigeon pea were to be planted and left to grow over a period of five years. During this period Soil samples were to be collected at intervals of 20 cm from 0 cm to a depth of 100 cm before planting, after 12, 24, 36, 48 and 60 months. Soils will have to be analysed for organic carbon, exchangeable bases, texture and, bulk density .

The overall Objective is to improve climate resilience, land productivity and carbon storage, and increase access to diversified livelihood activities in selected rural watersheds. The Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA) is one of the components of the broader SLMP and to be expected to include as Agricultural carbon project. The component will promote the adoption of a package of sustainable land management (SALM) practices on an estimated 435,000 ha of agricultural lands in 92 districts. Current agricultural practices in the project areas are not sustainable – characterised by diversion of crop residues and manure away from crop fields, marginal tree or organic material cover for soil surfaces, and incessant tillage. Through the project, the MoA will promote the adoption of SALM practices to tackle land degradation and restore soil fertility, enhance climate resilience, sequester carbon and/or reduce/remove GHG emissions. The SALM practices to be promoted include: agroforestry, reduced tillage, retention of crop residues on crop fields, compost manuring, green-manuring, physical structures and biological measures for soil and water conservation, row-planting, cover crops, and the use of improved crop varieties. Through these practices, the project aim to improve agricultural productivity and sequester carbon both in the soils and plant biomass. The generated emission reductions/removals will be assessed and claimed using the approved Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) methodology: VM0017 – Adoption of Sustainable Agricultural Land Management.

Además se solicita información del manejo previo de cada ambiente, un informe anual de los componentes socio-económicos de la sustentabilidad y una propuesta de cambio en el manejo para cumplir con el objetivo de incrementar el nivel de carbono en el suelo. | Español | AGSUS - FACULTAD DE AGRONOMÍA UNLPAM | C4.3 Determine award criteria | C4 Branding & Certification (CF) | PROTOCOLO DE MONITOREO Y MUESTREO DE SUELO PARA LA CERTIFICACIÓN DE MANEJO SUSTENTABLE Y SECUESTRO DE CARBONO (AGSUS) | Santa Rosa, La Pampa | B4 MRV Tools (GF) E1 MRV Systems (GF) A5 Carbon markets (GF) | El proyecto es llevado y coordinado por AGSUS-Facultad de Agronomía UNLPam y tiene asociados hasta este momento 27 productores en la región semiárida-subhúmeda pampeana, y 12 productores asociados a UPL Ltd en un primer piloto. | En curso | El protocolo AGSUS propone de una manera práctica y amigable para los productores rurales involucrarse con la mitigación del cambio climático y los SDG. El proyecto es accesible para todos los productores e implica una fuerte componente de capacitación y difusión de conocimiento técnico. El objetivo principal del proyecto es viabilizar el secuestro de carbono en los suelos agricolas, esto implícitamente aumenta los contenidos de materia orgánica del suelo y mejora la fertilidad física, química y biológica de ellos, resultando en mejoras en los servicios ecosistémicos que pueden brindar los suelos. | Argentina, Brasil, Uruguay | ||||||||

We seek to embody a paradigm shift that invites more life into global and local biologically sourced 'crises' (loss of seed sovereignty, food resilience, healthy waterways, transpiration cooling, biodiversity, nutrient dense food) by developing tools that naturally facilitate local ecosystem function, cycling and evolution. | English | Plan C Group Limited | C2.7 Co-create sustainable soil and land management practices | C2 Urge Soil Regeneration (GF) | Plan C | Company | C2.8 Generate income opportunities | The CarbonCycle Company, The Aotearoa Composters Network, The Tamaki Makaurau Compost Network, Untangled Landscapes, The Kaipatiki Project, Whakahaumanu a Hineahuone, Para Kore Marae Inc, Ata Regenerative, Te Waka Kai Ora, WhakaOra, DEANZ, The Zero Waste Network, Waiheke Resources Trust, AUT, Environment Hubs Aotearoa, For the Love of Bees, Soil and Health Association of NZ, The Regeneration Army. | Proposal stage | Our project enables land managers to grow soil health and carbon by developing contextually relevant infrastructure and services that cycle human managed organic materials back into healthy autopoietic soil and photosynthetic capacity. We emphasize deep understanding of each place/context - the relationships between past, present and potential socio-cultural behaviors, ecosystem functions, soil type, soil microbiology, climate, and land management practices. | New Zealand, Australia and Pacific Ocean Island Nations | ||||||||
| 0035 - Piloting the “Twin Regions” concept in Benin to boost sustainable natural carbon sequestration and facilitate its adoption at scale for the benefit of women, youth, and the environment. | b. no | Rural communities and in particular rural women and youth in Benin | a. yes | https://decentralisation.gouv.bj/commune/45/copargo/ | Benin | marcwbernard@gmail.com | 300000 | 36 | Tackling the climate crisis requires removing significant amounts of carbon from the atmosphere in the coming years. Passive reforestation has the greatest potential for carbon removal of all available technologies and positively affects biodiversity and microclimate, bolstering resilience. A major obstacle to realizing this potential is the unequal distribution of the necessary financial resources on the one hand and suitable land on the other. Wealthy areas in the north do not have enough land, and southern regions cannot realize their carbon sequestration potential due to poverty. On the contrary, they are cutting down their forests to cope with the acute lack of money. The concept of Twin Regions (https://twinregions.earth) uses the complementarity of different locations to overcome situational constraints and obstacles. Typically, a region with a low standard of living, low emissions, and high nature-based carbon sequestration potential is combined with a region with a high standard of living, high emissions, and low carbon sequestration potential. Implementing the concept requires a framework fostering trust and enabling adoption at scale. To develop it, key issues relating to carbon stock change monitoring, governance, accountability, and environmental and social impacts need to be clarified through research and experimentation. The proposed project aims to clarify key issues, learn from first-hand experience, and develop a framework that will facilitate the adoption of the concept in other regions. Over the past two years, we collaborated with local stakeholders from Kouandé and Copargo to agree on the modalities for piloting the concept in six selected areas, 1km² each. The population is rewarded with 20 to 50 € per Mt of sequestered carbon. Field measurements and satellite images will be analyzed using AI to monitor changes in carbon stocks and other ecological parameters in a more reliable and timely manner. Surveys will help to assess the socio-economic impact. | a.
