Transforming small SCALE agriculture

verdant biogas

Exists to improve the lives of smallholder farmers at scale through the introduction of superior yet affordable bio-digester technology

The challenge

Smallholder farmers are disproportionately affected by the impacts of climate change such as floods and droughts. Increasing prices of chemical fertilizer and pesticides further limit their ability to make a living.   

2.3 billion people rely on solid biomass for cooking which results in  roughly 3 million premature deaths annually. Smallholder farmers that are able to afford LPG fuel are confronted with increased prices.

The solution

Introduction of bio-digester technology has a transformative effect on these farms as they directly improve sanitation and provide access to biogas; a clean, convenient, reliable and free renewable fuel and increases farm productivity and associated family income through bio-slurry, a superior organic fertilizer.

Globally 150.000.000 farmers would benefit from the introduction of bio-digester technology in their lives. Verdant Biogas has developed a new and superior type of bio-digester

It is a disgrace that 2.3 billion people still have to rely on solid biomass for cooking
