Nature-Based Solutions

We work with farmers to plant a drought-tolerant agroforestry system with agave, crops, and endemic trees to improve farmer yields, produce dry-season livestock forage, and capture atmospheric carbon, as an extension of Regeneration International’s Billion Agave Project.

We produce water-efficient, nutrient-rich silage (livestock feed) from agave biomass, providing inexpensive last resort for farmers to keep animals alive during the dry season.

We partner with community managed forest associations and the Mandrare River Camp to regenerate and protect degraded Spiny Forest habitat in the Ifotaka Commune, home to IUCN Red List species at risk of extinction.

We are product testing agave and prickly-pear based alcoholic spirits using mezcal and gin production techniques, with the goal of creating an export brand supporting desperately needed jobs and farm income with employee ownership and profit sharing.

We are also product testing agave based surfboards with world renowned surfer and board shaper, Gary Linden, and Malagasy pro surfer, Joe Kennedy, as a sustainable alternative to foam surfboards, providing jobs and supporting the youth surf programs.
