Solutions
Carbon Offset Generation
As the global market for carbon offsets takes shape, Jadora is continuously identifying and developing new areas for carbon sequestration. Much of the carbon absorbed in through sustainable agriculture, forestry, and wilderness creation that would otherwise remain in the atmosphere is eligible to be sold as carbon offsets. Our team has expertise in biomass accumulation in plants, and we can take a project from the planning, to third party verification, through to monetization of carbon offsets.
Ecological and Social Development
Our team uses the latest technology to assess the geography, conservation value, geology, soils, and hydrology of sites to understand the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) impact of our projects. We estimate rates of carbon uptake and agricultural productivity to ideally situate conservation areas, buffer zones, and restoration programs that maximize the long-term value of diverse agricultural and restoration projects. Additionally, we engage with the surrounding inhabitants, and with rapid assessment techniques assess the social context and sustainable livelihood needs.
Second Generation Biofuel Development
Second generation biofuel crops can be grown on marginal land that would otherwise not be in cultivation. Our global perspective and partnerships give Jadora the flexibility and confidence to adapt to the unique ecological conditions at any given site, and choose the right mix of crops that meet rigorous guidelines for sustainable biofuel production. It takes intelligence, experience, and constant study to keep up with the developments for new biofuels crops such as algae and cellulosic fuels, and to distinguish the important changes that will allow new technologies to scale up for profitable production.
Socioeconomic Capacity Building
Conservation, environmental rehabilitation, and green production in fragile places requires buy-in from the people adjacent to the lands in restoration. We use the proven strategy of reciprocity, where people are engaged in livelihood and environment dialogs to ensure a balanced, sustainable relationship between communities and businesses. It is important to employ local people to safeguard environmental and green energy production efforts and take advantage of local knowledge and customs to find alternatives to unsustainable practices, Education and training, income-generation (both within and aside from the main project), micro-lending, and other development sectors (see health below) are addressed as a whole and integrated plan linked to environment and production.
Habitat Restoration and Removal of Invasive Species
Many island and mainland areas of the world suffer from degradation, particularly through unsound agricultural practices like slash and burn, overgrazing, and soil depletion. In addition, invasive species have frequently shifted ecosystems into permanently altered states. Our team excels in implementing economic, social, and ecological restoration plans and creating value from damaged systems.
