Environmental Benefits
1. Livestock are responsible for 14.5% of the total global greenhouse gases
emissions producing about 7.1 Gigatonnes of CO2-equivalent annually. Cattle manure
deposited on pastures is the second largest source of GHG emissions after
enteric methane and is responsible for 7% of agricultural emissions of Methane
and Nitrous Oxide worldwide.
2. Today nearly 200 million nomadic pastoralists globally keep cattle that produce
high volumes of manure that goes to waste and remains unutilized because
culturally they are only interested in cattle rearing for meat production.
Using our product helps prevent significant emissions of CO2 to the atmosphere but
instead sequester the carbon in to soils where they rejuvenate microbial activities that support plant life.
Social Benefits
Nomadic women from pastoralist communities are the key suppliers of our inputs. These women face a myriad of challenges including early marriages, gender discrimination and lack of participation in economic opportunities. Purchasing our products helps them earn an extra coin that goes a long way in buying food for their kids or taking them to school.
