CASILIENT Project launches in Ghana
The CASILIENT project aims to enhance cocoa yields and improve the livelihoods of 5,000 cocoa farmers by pruning and planting agroforestry trees across 8,000 hectares of cocoa farms, and supporting farmers to diversify their farm activities and income.
Farm of the Future
This innovative project will establish a 4-hectare model farm near Kumasi, Ghana to showcase the benefits of agroforestry-based cocoa production. This model farm and accompanying learning centre aim to empower local farmers with techniques that enhance yields, restore biodiversity, and increase resilience against climate change. The project is structured into multiple phases to ensure systematicContinue reading “Farm of the Future”
Farm of the Future
The Farm of the Future project in Ghana is a pioneering initiative to transform cocoa farming into a sustainable and climate-resilient industry.
Can Biochar Help Combat Deforestation and Climate Change?
A new research project is exploring how waste from cocoa production can reduce the environmental impact of cocoa farming and sustainably increase production.
From Slash-and-Burn to Sustainable: How Biochar is Changing Cocoa Farming in Côte d’Ivoire
ETG | Beyond Beans is preparing to run pilot projects to test the applicability of biochar in live field sites. Our ultimate goal is to expand this project to circularise coffee projects in Uganda, cashew projects in Mozambique, and cocoa projects in Côte d’Ivoire, thereby reducing waste, providing carbon insetting, and minimising the environmental impact of the agricultural sector.
