Overview
Mission
Through community partnerships in ecuador, building carbon scales up regenerative agroforestry through farmer training and advances the state of the art of bamboo building technology through r&d. We are built on partnerships and collaborations with farmers, builders, researchers, leaders, innovators and community leaders committed to regeneration, sustainability, and positive impact.
What it reported doing in 2025
Trained 25 farmers in regenerative agroforestry to transition from chemical based monoculture agriculture. 100% of participants successfully implement practice plots of regenerative agroforestry (no income or grant for this came to building carbon, however we supported the facilitation through the rotary foundation and the rfi entity).
