The hazards of climate change have caused soil erosion due to the presence of intermittent and torrential rains, and rising temperatures, which strips the land of the nutrients that make it fertile in Benin Republic, and West Africa. In research of solutions, farmers rely on chemical fertilizers, which worsen the situation and lead to soil degradation, with over 57% of decline in crop yields over the past 10 years, while the expenses incurred for production are close to income.
Although the hazards of climate change are a global problem, the case of Pobè in Benin Republic is critical and needs urgent attention. Pobè with over 130,000 residents, is a town that produces an enormous amount of waste, with 0.4kg per individual per day, or 70+ tons per day for the whole Pobè, 80% as agricultural waste. To get rid of it, people are forced to burn it or dump it in nature, the main source of the emission of over 50 tons of CO2 every day, which exacerbates the hazards of climate change.
BIO PLANET TMC Ltd is committed to cleaning up the environment, recycling biodegradable waste which is then transformed into high-quality granulated organic fertilizer, 100% eco-friendly for farmlands restoration, and increase in soil carbon sequestration capacity, meeting environmental and climate sustainability standards.
