Gold Standard Agriculture
1) Peru: diversification of smallholder rice production by converting part of area into agroforestry: banana/ cocoa & (high value) shade trees
Hivos Pilot projects to test new GSA methodology
2) Nicaragua: farm restoration from degraded land (coffee coop) - soil improvement (compost facility)
3) Indonesia and Kenya: usage of bio-slurry from biogas digester as supreme fertiliser
Hivos | 2015 5
Gold Standard Agriculture
Add carbon impact of bio-slurry: carbon sequestration in soils
bio-slurry liquid application, dried or composted
Will be first or second GSA project in Africa
Kenya: use of bio-slurry as fertiliser
Africa Biogas Carbon (ABC) PoA and its first Project Activity – KENAFFABC/KENDBIP registered at GS as a Renewable Energy project - focus on use of biogas for cooking.
Measures 2 ER effects:
* replacement of NRB (firewood and charcoal), and * methane avoidance (manure)
