Why a Living Lab?
Africa faces unique agricultural challenges, including soil degradation, water scarcity, and climate change. Regenerative practices offer a sustainable solution by:
Enhancing soil health: Improving soil structure and biodiversity.
Improving water management: Boosting soil water retention and quality.
Increasing productivity: Enhancing farm productivity and profitability.
Mitigating climate change: Sequestering soil carbon to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase soil water infiltration and holding capacity.
Building resilient farming systems to “buffer” climate extremes
