Harnessing the value of carbon to support regenerative agriculture, certified organic food and development that benefits local communities and their land.
Explore the vision ↓A proposed shared vision · November 2026
Carbon as a catalyst.Life as the foundation.Cooperation as our strength.
01 / Our vision
Connecting climate finance
with living prosperity.
We want to make carbon credits a source of financing for projects that regenerate soils, support the production of certified organic food and create value within communities.
The ambition is to bring together the skills, technologies and relationships needed to grow a new regenerative economy. An economy in which healthy land, water, biodiversity and successful businesses would reinforce one another.
This vision could take shape through projects in Latin America and Africa, then welcome new collaborators, including in Canada. Our shared ambition would be to become a leading participant in this economy by building lasting relationships and a collective capacity to act.
Ensuring that the value created by carbon helps life, food production and communities flourish.
The vision sets the direction. Studies will then enable the partners to choose, together, the projects and approaches to development suited to each territory.
02 / What we want to grow
One shared ambition.
Many forms of value.
Food people can trust
Develop supply chains aimed at providing certified organic food, with stronger relationships between producers, processors and markets.
Value that circulates
Connect carbon value, expertise and capital with local development, resource processing and job creation.
A growing alliance
Welcome businesses, producers, researchers and financial partners who share this ambition in Africa, Latin America and Canada.
03 / A continuing story
From a first meeting
to a shared horizon.
The African opportunity builds on an existing relationship between Beyonders and Genesis. It opens a new chapter in an ambition first being developed in Latin America.
A framework for a lasting relationship
Beyonders and Genesis discuss the “LATAM Regenerative Hub Initiative”. The proposed framework already brings together regenerative agriculture, biochar, resource recovery and technology transfer.
Complementary strengths become clearer
Exchanges of alliance and memorandum-of-understanding proposals explore how the two organisations could develop activities together in Colombia and Latin America.
An invitation to explore Africa
Alain proposes extending the discussion to Senegal, around soils, water and biochar. Genesis expresses interest in exploring this opportunity and contributing its experience.
The Senegal–Genesis proposal ↗A shared vision takes shape
Conversations with Ndela, Genesis, GreenConflict and Iván connect Latin American experience with Senegalese ambitions. The cooperation could grow to include other territories and new collaborators.

Different experiences.
An ambition to share.
Four organisations at the heart of the discussions, alongside collaborators who connect territories, ideas and markets. The contributions below describe the complementary roles being explored.
Canada
Beyonders
Alain Bélanger
Beyonders could bring together business structuring, management, implementation and technology integration to expand the vision. Its contributions could encompass water and hydrology, logistics, traceability, quality and manufacturing organisation.
Its technology portfolio includes functional biochar, cellulose and peat, with opportunities in materials, substrates and solutions tailored to the needs of each territory.
Beyonders also draws on field experience gained through planting more than 100 million trees and establishing nurseries. This expertise connects seedling quality, survival and the profitability of operations.
Establishing nurseries and planting trees would therefore form part of the shared vision: restoring natural landscapes and forests, and developing agroforestry. The aim would be to connect trees, crops and biomass within regenerative systems, alongside biochar applications.
Colombia · Latin AmericaGenesis
Genesis
Terrain Group
Julián Andrés Cadavid Aguirre
Genesis develops projects related to climate, carbon, biochar, regenerative agriculture and natural capital in Latin America. Its experience could help connect local ambitions with approaches to development and environmental value creation.
The relationship with Beyonders provides a foundation for exploring new complementary strengths. Genesis would be interested in exploring this opportunity with us in Africa.
Senegal · West Africa
Afrite
Ndela Ndiaye and the local team
Ndela brings an ambition for agricultural entrepreneurship, food processing and job creation in Senegal. Her openness to collaboration could ground this vision in local realities and help it grow with producers and communities.
Senegal could become the first African meeting point for this cooperation, with the prospect of welcoming other partners in West Africa.
Europe · International network
GreenConflict
Grace Kisame
GreenConflict supports organisations in their sustainability strategies and climate projects. Its approach connects the environmental, economic and social dimensions of development.
Its experience and relationships could help connect the regenerative ambition, carbon value and financing opportunities in dialogue with Genesis and the other partners.
05 / An open horizon
Growing together,
beyond borders.
An alliance capable of connecting projects in Latin America and Africa, then welcoming new collaborators in Canada and elsewhere.
An established relationship
The Beyonders–Genesis collaboration and the prospects for regenerative development provide an initial foundation for this ambition.
A new chapter
The dialogue opened in Senegal could give rise to cooperation adapted to local territories and developed with local stakeholders.
A community to expand
Other expertise, businesses and partners could join this initiative and bring new possibilities.
Our ambition would be to become, together, one of the leaders of an economy that regenerates the resources on which it depends.

by dialogue.
Editorial summaries of the discussions, focused on their contribution to the shared vision. Original meeting records remain accessible according to their services’ permissions.
November 11, 2026Biochar Africa project+
The group’s first meeting brings together the Latin American experience of Genesis and GreenConflict, Beyonders’ expertise and Ndela’s agricultural ambition in Senegal. The discussions explore the possibility of combining regenerative agriculture, biochar, carbon, food processing and job creation.
Ndela hopes the cooperation can benefit other producers. Iván highlights the value of connecting the project’s opportunities with market needs. The group expresses a willingness to explore this collaboration together and adapt it to the local context.
What this meeting brings to the vision: an initial core of cooperation between the Americas, Africa and a European network.
November 9, 2026Ndela Ndiaye and Alain Bélanger+
The discussion connects soil and water conservation with a broader entrepreneurial ambition: agriculture, crop storage, processing and employment. Ndela and her team share their desire to develop activities in Senegal and their interest in cooperation that could open up more possibilities.
Beyonders explores how its expertise in technology, organisation and management could contribute. Carbon value is considered a possible financing lever to support this development.
What this meeting brings to the vision: roots in local people and their land, with an ambition for local development.
November 9, 2026Cooperation around carbon and biochar+
The partners discuss the complementary strengths of Beyonders, Genesis and GreenConflict around biochar, soil regeneration and carbon value. Latin American opportunities inform the discussion of broader international cooperation.
Senegal emerges as a new opportunity for collaboration. Experience and expertise could circulate between territories and be enriched by new partnerships.
What this meeting brings to the vision: continuity between Latin American projects and the opening towards Africa.
