Carbon removal through enhanced rock weathering together with farmers in the tropics

What is the Challenge?

Climate change is the biggest challenge of our generation and thus has to be solved urgently. It will not be sufficient to solely reduce emissions, we also need to find a scalable and permanent solution to remove carbon dioxide permanently from the atmosphere. At the same time, farmers in the tropics are in great need of restoring their soils and are today dependent on imported synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. Is there any way these two problems can be solved at the same time?
