This report explores the CommuniTree project that links forest activities in smallholder agriculture to carbon sequestration in Nicaragua. Managed by Taking Root, it is fully financed through the sale of carbon offsets. Farmers establish mixed-species forest plantations and receive a cash payment...

Indonesia’s cattle biodigester system is a highly effective ‘green’ technology, radically improving smallholders’ quality of life both in the household and via the farm enterprise: the main product, biogas, is a smokeless cooking fuel and the by-product, bioslurry, is a high-value fertiliser. The...
