ReFi Lagos: Project OSISI

Project OSISI is a ReFi Lagos ecosystem project connecting impact donors to tree-planting events in Nigeria. OSISI Pilot Farm is a 1040-SQM tree nursing garden in Badagry town, Lagos State. It serves as a hub for nursing and distribution of tree seedlings By establishing this pilot garden, we've gained valuable insights into several key aspects of the tree nursing business: 1) Unit Cost Analysis: Understanding the cost of producing tree seedlings is crucial for scaling up tree planting efforts and creating sustainable environmental programs. 2) Distribution Methods: The pilot has allowed us to test and refine strategies for distributing planting materials and tree seedlings, which can inform future tree planting festivals Community Involvement: Project OSISI enables land stewards to organize tree-planting events in schools and climate-affected communities in Nigeria. OSISI works with coconut farmers in Badagry, empowering them to grow and sell tree seedlings. Scale and Impact: The OSISI Pilot farm employs 3 farmers to nurse tree seedlings. The farm has successfully grown 100 tree seedlings ready to be transplanted. Activities & Approach: We take pride in our mutual partnership with NGOs and governments. Project OSISI recently secured the approval of Lagos State Government Education Districts to implement tree-planting festivals in 8 schools in Lagos. Quantifiable Result: OSISI pilot farm sits on a 1040 SQM farmland where we grow tree seedlings and banana/plantain fruits. Project OSISI has planted over 200 trees in schools, recreational parks, and coastal communities in Nigeria

ReFi Lagos | Operation Web Tree

Project Olókun (#OperationWebTree) is a pilot climate education and tree planting event targeting coastal communities severely affected by recent Lagos coastal erosion. Using the Silvi protocol, we’ve planted 20 foxtail palm and coconut trees in Lagos' Mopo Akinlade community to help combat coastal erosion. #Olókun is a product of our research at the intersection of climate, agriculture, web3, and regenerative finance(ReFi) in Africa. Here’s a link to the tree planting event https://tinyurl.com/projectolokun, and my ReFi community stories https://blog.refidao.com/author/simon/ #ProjectOlókun was sponsored by #ReFiDAO and #Celo with HUGE support from #Silvi.Earth
