Mercy Corps’ AgriFin programming (MCAF) represents USD 35 million in innovation funding from the Mastercard Foundation, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the Swiss Development Corporation to support development, testing and scale of digitally-enabled services for smallholder farmers. Our objective is to develop sustainable services that increase farmer income and productivity by 50%, with 50% outreach to women. MCAF works as an innovation partner with private sector scale partners and such as banks, mobile network operators, agribusinesses, as well as technology innovators and governments committed to serving smallholders at scale. We help our partners develop, test and scale bundles of digitally-enabled financial and non-financial services supporting partnership development between market actors that leverage their strengths.
Subsurface membrane technology dramatically increases biomass production on sandy soils contributing to the sequestration of carbon in soil organic matter. SWRT Solutions Inc. installs U shaped membranes at two depths below tillage depth for water and nutrient conservation. Developed at Michigan State University and tested around the world in 19 countries by independent Scientists this technology improves the atmosphere, soils and increases crop production and on farm profits.
1) By reflecting away 30% of ISR the albedo, which would not exist w/o the atmosphere/GHGs, makes the earth cooler than it would be without that atmosphere like that reflective panel set behind the windshield. Remove the atmosphere/GHGs and the earth would become much like the Moon and Mercury, a barren rock with a 0.1 albedo, 20% more kJ/h, hot^3 on the lit side, cold^3 on the dark. Nikolov, Kramm (U of AK) and UCLA Diviner mission all tacitly agree. 2) the GHG up/down welling, “trapping”/”back” radiating/delaying/intercepting, 100 % efficient, perpetual warming loop requires "extra" energy which according to RGHE theory comes from 3) the terrestrial surface radiating that "extra" energy as a LWIR ideal black body which 4) cannot happen because of the non-radiative heat transfer processes of the contiguous atmospheric molecules and as demonstrated by experiment, the gold standard of classical science: principia-scientific.org/debunking-the-greenhouse-gas-theory-with-a-boiling-water-pot/ 1+2+3+4 = 0 Greenhouse Effect + 0 Greenhouse gas warming + 0 man caused climate change.
