Restoring Agriculture in Madagascar, Together
Madagascar faces serious ecological and economic challenges, but there’s hope on the horizon. This project is all about building innovative and sustainable solutions that act as a catalyst for regenerative and inclusive agriculture. It’s not just about farming—it’s about creating a movement that brings communities together to revive the land and livelihoods. By focusing on nature-based approaches, the initiative aims to transform agriculture into a force for good, benefiting both people and the planet.
Key Benefits and Eye-Opening Facts
Understanding the context is crucial. Here are some key figures that paint the picture:
- 92% of households live in poverty
- 81.6% of the population survives on less than $2.15 a day
- Agriculture accounts for 25% of Madagascar’s GDP
- Madagascar ranks as the 3rd most vulnerable country to climate change
- 1.1% of forest cover is lost every year
- 75% of native plant species have disappeared
- 44% of the population faces food insecurity
- Nearly half the population lacks access to improved drinking water
- Three out of four people are farmers
These numbers aren’t just statistics—they’re a call to action. They show why restoring agriculture is not only necessary but urgent.
Nature-Based Solutions at the Core
The project has developed a dedicated platform focused on natural capital, designed for organizations around the world. This platform supports initiatives that protect and enhance the environment while promoting sustainable development. It’s about harnessing the power of nature to solve complex problems—think of it as working with the earth, not against it.
Carbon Projects That Make a Difference
Investing in carbon projects is a major pillar of the initiative. These projects are carefully selected and certified by internationally recognized standards, ensuring high quality and real impact. The goal? To reduce carbon footprints while supporting local communities and ecosystems. It’s a win-win that aligns environmental responsibility with social inclusion.
Building Sustainable and Inclusive Supply Chains
Optimizing sourcing is another focus area. The project leverages expertise to develop and implement agricultural supply chains that are both sustainable and inclusive. This means ensuring fair practices, supporting smallholder farmers, and maintaining full traceability of products. Transparency and responsibility go hand in hand here, creating trust from farm to table.

- SDG 2: Zero Hunger
- SDG 6: Clean Water and Sanitation
- SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production
