Good day. We are happy to launch our newest project which is Carbon Farming to Mitigate Climate Change. The details of this project can be found in Global Giving. This project will pilot a farmer-based climate mitigation solution via carbon farming and the promotion of community-based carbon farms. Small-scale farmers are one of the best drivers in climate mitigation by the practice of regenerative agriculture and promoting the practice via social media and physical farm visits. We will also partner with business so that they will be able to help this initiative.
