Dear Seth,
Soil4Climate is pleased to announce the newest edition of our science compendium, Hope Below Our Feet: Peer-reviewed Publications on Well-managed Grazing to Improve Rangeland Ecology, Increase Soil Carbon, and Mitigate Global Warming (link)
Because of your support, this essential document is available, and the promise of regenerative grazing to heal soil on much of the Earth is gaining wider recognition in science and policy circles. Also because of your support, Soil4Climate is enabling regenerative agriculture in East Africa.
Kindly see further information below regarding both of these efforts. With love for soil, food security, and climate resilience, |

Regenerative Grazing, Maasai Lands Restoration Project, Kajiado, Kenya
The Maasai Lands Restoration Project implements resilient grazing practices on Maasai lands in the Kajiado District of Kenya to help families improve soil while producing protein. It is managed by Dalmas Tiampati, who received training in Holistic Management from the Mara Training Center in Western Kenya, a Savory Hub.

| Permaculture, Mabinju Power House Youth Group, Siaya, Kenya
Mabinju Power House Youth Group provides agroforestry training and services for up to 50 families in the Siaya District of Kenya. Soil4Climate donations have enabled the purchase of gardening supplies, seedlings, and a dairy cow which is producing four liters of milk per day. Project managed by Geoffrey Ouma.

| Regenerative Grazing & Relief, Enkop Naboo Organization, Emboreet, Tanzania
Enkop Naboo Organization - Soil4Climate support has enabled food relief for grazers in the Emboreet village, Tanzania, whose animals were dying during the recent drought in East Africa. Post drought, Soil4Climate donations helped with purchases of cows and sheep. Training in Holistic Management will follow. Project managed by N’ding’a Ndikon Orkeyaroi.

👉 A donation of just $25 can purchase much-needed supplies, like watering cans and potting bags, to enable community permaculture (eg. $5 for a 10-liter watering can).
👉 A donation of $300 buys a cow that can be integrated into a holistically managed herd (a mom cow can produce 2.5 to 5 liters of milk per day, helping to feed up to 20 families).
👉 A donation of $500 leases 500 acres of grazable land for a month (this is far below market rates and only available via like minded community members).
👉 A donation of $3,000 allows us to buy a small herd of cows that we will name in your honor. They will be integrated into a regenerative grazing regimen.
👉 For donations of $100 or more, US residents will receive a free Soil4Climate hat as a token of our appreciation ($125 for shipments outside the US). |
