Voices for Climate Action Project
Taita Taveta | Kilifi | KwaleVoices for Climate Action (VCA) Project
The project is Financed by the Slovak Aid and implemented by Sote Hub.
We identified innovators, SMES, organizations, groups already implementing nature-based solutions to climate problems especially in agriculture, environment with minimum 50% of selected enterprises run by women.
Sectors
- Drought resistant varieties of crops and livestock breeds.
- Plastic recycling.
- Local smart irrigation technologies
- Vertical gardening systems.
- Renewable energy solutions that reduce pressure on trees and wood (example, briquettes to reduce demand on mangrove forests), reafforestation projects, nature-based businesses, circular economy.
A fight on climate change is a fight on poverty. Through this project I was able to identify how to strengthen and commercialize Azolla farming. Azolla farming is not only focused on food security but also climate change.
