The Grameen Crédit Agricole Foundation is a member of the 4 per 1000 initiative
The 4 per 1000 initiative, launched by France at COP21 in 2015, brings together voluntary stakeholders from the public and private sectors to launch concrete actions "to improve soil health. It carries the vision of healthy, carbon-rich soils on a global scale to combat climate change and end world hunger." The ambition of 4 per 1000 is to engage the world's farmers in regenerative, resilient, and biodiversity-friendly agriculture.
The ambition of the International 4 per 1000 Initiative is to encourage land users to move towards diversified, productive, resource-efficient and highly resilient agriculture and forestry, based on appropriate management of natural resources, particularly land, soil and water, thereby strengthening agricultural activities and the global economy and ensuring sustainable development.
This Initiative invites all stakeholders (producers, scientific community, private sector, NGOs, regional and local authorities, countries, international organizations, development banks, foundations, etc.) to promote and implement practical actions based on science, based on successful experiences.
The Initiative aims to involve stakeholders in developing a global monitoring system to better assess soil carbon stocks and establish appropriate public policies.
For Vincent Brousseau, Director of Impact Financing at the Grameen Crédit Agricole Foundation, “ The Foundation's choice to become a member of the international 4 per 1000 initiative in September 2022 reflects our desire to work closely with partners keen to promote the experiences of farming communities to strengthen the resilience of their territories. We fully embrace 4 per 1000's holistic approach to regenerative agriculture as a means of adapting to and combating climate change, but also as a powerful lever for improving food security and the economic prosperity of farmers.. »
