Bio Planet Fertilizer Project
Pobè, Benin
The Bio Planet Fertilizer Project is an initiative of BIO PLANET TMC Ltd, an environmental sustainability social venture located in Pobè, Benin dedicated to promoting efficient and inclusive agricultural practices. They offer over 18,000 local farmers a quality granulated organic fertilizer, more accessible and inexpensive than traditionally used chemical fertilizers that have had harmful effects on the rural populations. This project supports farmland soil restoration, biodiversity and conservation, while increasing crop yields for local farmers in Pobè, Benin.
Through the support of a Purpose Earth grant, the project will be enabled to make improvements to the facilities for processing organic waste and building an equipped water borehole to ensure availability of water for organic fertilizer production. Funding also makes possible the purchase of a motorized waste grinder and electric dryer to increase production capacity to meet the growing demand in Pobè, Benin and beyond. This grant empowers their vision to reach more than 1,000,000 small-scale farmers by 2030.
“The Purpose Earth grant program represents a valuable opportunity for us to access a professional network of green entrepreneurs, world class agricultural development plans and resources needed to expand our business in order to reach more farmers, empower rural women and small farmers, and realize our vision of contributing to food security, social equity and environmental protection. The program brings together bright young leaders ready to positively change the world.” - Christian Adoh, Project Lead
