We are here to give a voice back to nature.
Realigning human and natural systems
A global platform with Africa at the epicentre
Collaboration
and co-creation
Our Earth is a living organism and we need to act to bring it back into balance. We need to realign the relationships between systems – water, soil and air – and our human activities to bring about a thriving, regenerative planet.
Project Biome is an innovation hub for global collaboration – with Africa as the womb. Our vision is to activate and empower communities to bring about a regenerative future through the alignment of human and natural systems. We aim to connect ecosystems across sectors and serve as the connective tissue for the much-needed collaborative participation and co-creation of these futures.
A solution under our feet
Our approach to healing the carbon and water cycles of our planet is:
Rewilding river and ocean coastlines
Water is the blood of the Earth. It supports all life, which includes a rich diversity of plants, animals and people. We advocate for a ‘root cause’ approach to bring about large-scale land restoration, including desertified ecosystems. We call for innovative solutions to turn waste into inputs for green energy technologies and supply chains, that can also create new jobs and support the emergence of local economies.
Regenerating food and agricultural systems
We need perennial food forests in urban and rural communities to enable the fast recovery of soil and water habitats as well as establish food security for generations to come. Regenerative agriculture coupled with creative education, the incentivisation of entrepreneurs and a focus on food sovereignty, can boost Africa’s ability to become net positive in food production. This would change the socioeconomic reality for millions on the continent. Expanding Farmer Footprint initiatives will escalate the adoption of regenerative farming and support the rewilding of corridors of major river systems.
Recreating
human systems
Our regenerative model seeks to support individuals and communities in fulfilling their potential, in order to grow abundance thinking. With a focus on building self-empowerment, we aim to shift systems with disruptive, locally-owned, green technologies. These would be fed by education systems rooted in regeneration and indigenous wisdom, and can create open-source, decentralized economies. Some examples include waste-to-energy solutions, urban permaculture, composting and other waste stream strategies as well as scaled land and water projects.
A pathway for transformation
Awareness
Using storytelling to grow indigenous wisdom and move from scarcity to a mindset of prosperity.
Education
Lifting up the voices and visions of local leaders, and growing nature-based, regenerative systems education.
Innovation
Supporting organic enterprises and innovating green technology to grow new ways of living on earth.
Policy
Revolutionizing systems and engaging governments as we look at natural law, systems thinking and true cost accounting.
The vision
Our vision is a regenerative future of healthy people, plants and planet.
Phase 1
Foundation → Rewilding the Klaserie and Timbivati Rivers in Acornhoek, South Africa.
Phase 2
Strengthen → Growing 1000s of back yard perennial food forests. Linking ecological and social impact on river systems with the restoration of keystone species.
Phase 3
Scale → Regenerating the Sahara Desert as the largest global grassland.
It does not seek to control, rather collect and synergise.
It does not seek recognition, rather collaboration and connection.
It does not seek to be the organs, rather the connective tissue.
We do not have the complete answers, these words are our piece of the puzzle.
Solutions will grow as you all bring your pieces.
If you are ready for radical collaboration, welcome!
Living in accordance with nature – a core dance from within.
Shifting from problem solving to solutions building.
Transforming scarcity thinking into abundance being.
Regenerating soil, water, air, humanity through the fire of our combined life forces,
shining as bright as mitochondria and coming in as hot as the sun.
