Climate Change

Biocarbon fund

In March 2007, The World Bank launched Tranche Two of its BioCarbon Fund, which supports
sustainable land use and forestry development and conservation programmes in the developing
world. Jointly with the Syngenta group, SFSA will invest US $2.5 million in the Fund over
the next five years.

Syngenta Foundation joins the BioCarbon Fund

"Sustainable agriculture has an essential role to play in improving livelihoods and economic growth in developing countries, it must also contribute to addressing the challenges of climate change, globally and locally. We are eager to explore the ways by which carbon cash flows can deliver clear development benefits for rural communities through changes in agriculture and land use practices. We believe the BioCarbon Fund is the best vehicle to achieve this goal."

Andrew Bennett: Former Executive Director of the Syngenta Foundation.
