Since ILAMAF is 7 months old, it meets the minimum age requirement set by CCN for the Climate Solutions Round. Here's how ILAMAF's project aligns eligibility criteria\n1. Project Age: CCN requires projects to be at least 3 months old.  ILAMAF, at 7 months old, satisfies this criterion.\n\n2. Project Focus: CCN mandates projects to be primarily focused on climate solutions. ILAMAF demonstrates this focus through several aspects such as;\n    - Closed-Loop Nutrient Cycle: This system reduces reliance on chemical fertilizers, minimizing greenhouse gas emissions associated with their production and transportation. \n    - Organic Production: Avoiding synthetic pesticides and herbicides protects soil health and reduces reliance on their production, which can be energy-intensive.\n    - Focus on Sustainable Practices: Practices like agroforestry can improve soil health, potentially leading to increased carbon sequestration.\n    - Water Management: Efficient irrigation techniques can minimize water usage and conserve this vital resource.\n\n3. Category Selection: CCN prioritizes specific climate solution categories. ILAMAF aligns with several potential categories:\n    - Nature-Based Solutions: Agroforestry practices can contribute to habitat restoration and carbon sequestration.\n    - Renewable Energy: ILAMAF utilizes biogas digesters to capture methane emissions from animal waste and convert it to biogas for energy.\n    - Sustainable Food Production: Organic and closed-loop production systems promote environmentally responsible food production.", "hidden": false, "question": "Please explain how your project meets the Climate Solutions Round eligibility criteria.

This could significantly increase our yield and product diversity while reducing our environmental footprint.\n\nWeb3 Integration:\n\nWe recognize the growing importance of web3 technologies. We are currently investigating the feasibility of implementing blockchain-based traceability for our products. This would provide consumers with complete transparency about the origin and ethical sourcing of their food, further strengthening our commitment to sustainability. Additionally, we are exploring the potential of using cryptocurrencies for microfinancing of local farmers who adopt sustainable practices or for rewarding them based on their environmental impact metrics.\n\nTeam Expertise:\n\nOur team comprises experienced professionals with a strong background in sustainable agriculture. Mr Maimo Brandon Dz, our team lead has over 8 years experience in Business development and project Managemeng.   Al-Mahdi Djidda, our operations manager, holds a degree in business management and possesses expertise in resource efficiency and waste reduction through multiple international trainings.\nChuo Denis our Head Agricultural specialist has over 10 years of experience in organic farming practices and soil health improvement.\nTamunjoh Rommel our head accountant has a degree in accounting and is an ACCA certified accountant.\n\nFuture Plans:\n\nOur vision for ILAMAF extends beyond our current operations. We plan to expand our farm size within the next two years to cater to the growing demand for our products.  Furthermore, we aim to replicate our model in neighboring communities and countries within Africa, empowering other farmers to adopt sustainable practices and contribute to a wider positive environmental impact.  \nWe are also developing educational programs to train local farmers in sustainable agriculture techniques, fostering knowledge sharing and long-term environmental stewardship within the community.\n\nPartnerships:\n\nWe are actively seeking partnerships to support ILAMAF's goals. We are currently in discussions with the Institute for Sustainable Agriculture Research (ISAR) to collaborate on research projects focused on optimizing water usage and soil health in our specific climate. \nAdditionally, we are exploring potential partnerships with local NGOs and companies working on food security initiatives and with the Ministry of Agriculture to advocate for wider adoption of sustainable practices in Cameroon.\n\nWe plan to setup small vertical farms for vulnerable people, widows and elderly to provide them vegetables and cash crops which will serve as a source of food, exercice and mental growth.", "hidden": false, "question": "Anything else you'd like to share about your project, previous work, or other project affiliations?
