Burundi: New training material capacitates for adaptation

Handbooks help farmers to improve soils and adjust their agricultural techniques

2020-10/ An innovative package of training material issued by the ACCES+ project in Burundi helps farmers address climate change. Thematically the package covers the whole array of interventions towards more resilient agriculture: organisational preconditions and procedures as well as technicalities such as soil improvement by way of adapted cultivation techniques and choice of seeds, or erosion control. The material contains a training handbook for extentionists with curriculum modules and a complementary guide for plenary display with on-site illustrations. A compendium of technical files presents 20 measures stepwise and details necessary inputs such as cost and manual labour. > NEWS

Investing in GMDR technology

ECO facilitates the adoption of efficient kilns

11-01/ By 2050 every second African citizen will still rely on wood-based fuels. This UNEP figure draws attention to a so far neglected sector of CO2 emissions: those from rural charcoal producing communities in numerous LDCs. ECO Consult's pioneering work in Madagascar, in adapting and improving kiln technologies, has led us to promote the more efficient, and thus GHG saving, GMDR (Green Mad Dome Retort). This technology is also a possible means for freeing revenues from carbon markets, to help improve local livelihoods, and not just for avoiding the release of thousands of tons of avoidable GHG emissions: small green investments that pay double and save the resource base. ECO Consult experts facilitate dissemination of the technology and assist investors. > RENEWABLE ENERGY
