our presence globally

g+c- is working directly/with partners/affiliates in promoting green positive and low carbon to carbon negative sustainble food and fuel (f&f) in an increasing number of locations, mostly in developing countries where the ideas have most leverage.

g+c- affiliates are in several locations in India, countries in West Africa, East Africa, parts of Asia, and multiple sites in Central/South America and where farms/seed operations/composting projects, sustainable farming, food and fuel production projects are utilizing our advise and direct/indirect involvment. We act as principals in some cases alongside local groups.

We typically are not involved in any kind of capital raise for any project partners. If we do invest capital directly or on behalf of other private market funds, it's usually as principals as per tight conditions imposed by investors. We are not a project finance operation in most cases, even though we have members in the group that have long histories of strong capital market and project finance expertise.

We are primarily looking at situations where there is deforested, under utilized, and often waste land that is in bad shape and we try to apply all low carbon and sustainable, local solutions to bring the soil to health while establishing viable food and fuel production projects.

We also have carbon traders/brokers in our network, including senior affiliates that can work on extracting the carbon value from our low carbon solutions.
