Every year, 1.5 billion tonnes of agricultural crop residue is produced in the Global South, representing over a Gigatonne of carbon removal potential - and also over $100 billion a year in new climate incomes from waste.

‍

From October 7 to 9, representatives and organisations across Asia-Pac will be gathering in Hanoi for FAO’s Regional Workshop on Carbon Markets for Agrifood Systems – focusing on bridging the gap between agrifood systems and global policies, carbon markets, and international bodies.

‍

Food is more than a basic human need. It’s the basis of our communities and culture, and ultimately, it brings people together. At Arukah, we have a deep respect for our agricultural communities, and believe that putting farmers at the heart of our projects, means that Asia’s agrifood systems become a vital part in tackling the global climate crisis. 

‍

As such, we’re grateful and excited to contribute our experience bringing together institutions, governments and financiers around projects in agrifood systems in emerging economies.

Please do reach out to find out more about how we bring equitable, durable carbon removal to the Global South, by collaborating with local communities with abundant agri-waste.
