Small-scale farmers play a crucial role in global food security. They produce around one-third of the world's food. In regions like sub-Saharan Africa, their contribution is even more significant, accounting for 80% of the food produced. These farmers support the livelihoods of more than two billion people globally. Decarbonizing the world one local farmer at a time.

more than 90% of those living in extreme poverty depend on forests for their livelihoods, including food and firewood. Approximately 63% of Africa's land surface is degraded, which amounts to over 4 billion hectares. with 55% of that being at very high risk of further degradation. Africa is one of the most polluted areas on Earth due to extensive oil extraction and spills The environmental degradation has had severe consequences on the local ecosystems and communities, affecting agriculture, fishing, and overall health. Working with local farmers to Re-carbonise and restore degraded land is crucial for improving food security, protecting biodiversity, and building resilient communities.

Rootsandcarbon built a portfolio and, among others, connected Access to our carbon farmer Moses, from whom they bought carbon credits. By Growing Hemp, carbon is stored in the soil. The Hemp tree is then used for building materials such as Hempcrete and Biomass carbon reducing and possibly removing Scope 3 emissions.
Kubi Mine FARMERS
Located 180 kilometers northwest of Accra in the Central Region is the abandoned Kubi Gold Mine. Rootsandcarbon works with the Kubi mine Hemp farmers. These farmers has been planting hemp plants around the abandoned mine since 2023. To help improve water pollution, soil degradation, and deforestation, transforming the forest reserves to a sustainable ecosystem.
Asante
By partnering with Rootsandcarbon, Asante embarked on a journey towards circularity and carbon neutrality. By purchasing carbon credits from the local Kubi mine farmers. The farmers were able to convert 52 Square kilometers in Hemp forests, storing carbon and increasing biodiversity.
