ABOUT JUSTDIGGIT
If we bring back nature on a large enough scale, we can mitigate the worst effects of climate change. Together with farmers, pastoralists, and local partners, we cool down the planet by regreening dry and degraded land in Sub-Saharan Africa. We combine traditional and scalable nature-based solutions with data, communication and (mobile) technology.
