Mexico Land Restoration
Supporting the transformation of overgrown, degraded land into productive cocoa farms while developing community-shared drying facilities that improve quality and strengthen cooperative networks.
Projects
Attribute
Hacienda RC: New drying facility, built with farm-grown timber.
Finca Cacayo: Shared drying space, strengthening community collaboration.
Hacienda La Luz: 2 hectares restored, 500 new cocoa trees planted.
La Campesina: New plantation on 2 hectares of unused land, balancing wildlife & cocoa.
Finca Las Delias: Industrial compost shredder to cut waste and enrich soil.
Abner’s Camera Project: Equipping a local creator to document farmer stories
Partnership Overview
Working alongside farming families who have grown cocoa for generations, we’ve helped preserve agroforestry traditions while building new foundations for the future.
Implementation Process
Before installation, Green Pastures relied on diesel generators to run milking machines and chillers—costly, unreliable, and carbon-intensive. With rising fuel costs and local climate pressures, the farm needed a renewable solution to support its dairy operations.

Challenges & Innovations
The high elevation of Eldoret meant cooler nights, which can slow digestion. We added thermal insulation and used slurry pre-warming to maintain optimal temperatures and microbial activity.
Conclusion
Biogas is more than a renewable energy solution—it’s a practical, cost-effective tool that empowers farmers to do more with what they already have.
From reducing fuel expenses to improving soil health and creating new revenue streams, the impact is clear. As more small farms adopt this technology, the agricultural landscape in Africa is being reshaped—cleaner, more resilient, and future-ready.
