Milkywire’s Climate Transformation Fund Goes Above and Beyond for Enhanced Weathering

The perennial question surrounding carbon dioxide removal (CDR) is one of funding. Until recently, this had been especially true of enhanced rock weathering (ERW), where unanswered questions surrounding efficacy and scalability stymied all but the most concerted efforts to fund ERW initiatives. Now, despite the field’s relative immaturity, there has been a windfall in investment opportunities for ERW projects and companies. In May 2024, Milkywire selected 13 projects to support, including Flux and Mati Carbon, through their Climate Transformation Fund. The Climate Transformation Fund is one of five funds in Milkywire’s portfolio. It was ...

Navigating Geological Contrasts: Strategies for Sustainable Agriculture in Tanzania

Tanzania exhibits highly contrasting geology, which plays a crucial role in its strengths and limitations for agricultural development. Certain areas of the region contain abundant minerals for fertile soils while others suffer from depletion. This disparity arises largely from the region's unique geomorphological features, notably its location along the East African Rift System (EARS). The EARS is an extensive continental rift valley beginning at the Red Sea in the north, and extending eastward into the Indian Ocean (Wood & Turn). The rift is actively forming through extensional tectonics, a process that pulls apart the Earth’s crust, thinning ...

India’s Potential for Food Security and Climate Stabilization

Dr. Tedros Ghebreyefus has warned: “There is no vaccine for climate change.”  While this is currently true, recent advances in nature-based carbon dioxide removal strategies may offer an effective treatment of the problem.

AG-USA and the Agricultural Benefits of Sea-Based Minerals

Balanced soil creates nutrient-dense plants, and when animals eat these plants, they become stronger and healthier.

Breaking ground: Professor makes “rocks for crops” reality in Cameroon

In the early 2000s, Jean Pierre Nguetnkam from the Department of Earth Sciences at the University of Ngaoundéré, Cameroon, was inspired to start a research program on soil remineralization.

In Flux: Former UK Army Officer Leads Revolutionary Rock-Weathering Company In Kenya

Flux is collaborating with UNCCD (United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification) and consulting with Remineralize the Earth on a mineral-rock trial with 50 smallholder Western Kenyan farmers.

From Agrimagined to Agreality in Africa

Nature finds ways of directing resources to where they are needed most, but if your eyes are not tuned to see these processes, they get taken for granted. Bryan Ollier has spent years honing this observational skill and has gained many lessons of how the natural world shares its nutrients. His recent work has sought to take these lessons and use them to make agriculture work with these natural processes, rather than against them.  Ollier has been partnering with Joseph Kinuthia of Kenya through their organization Agrimagined since 2021 to find innovative ways to tackle the challenges that farmers face in rural Africa. The bulk of the work ...
