Great news! Since ILAMAF is 7 months old, it meets the minimum age requirement set by CCN for the Climate Solutions Round. Here's how ILAMAF's project aligns eligibility criteria
1. Project Age: CCN requires projects to be at least 3 months old.  ILAMAF, at 7 months old, satisfies this criterion.

2. Project Focus: CCN mandates projects to be primarily focused on climate solutions. ILAMAF demonstrates this focus through several aspects such as;
    - Closed-Loop Nutrient Cycle: This system reduces reliance on chemical fertilizers, minimizing greenhouse gas emissions associated with their production and transportation. 
    - Organic Production: Avoiding synthetic pesticides and herbicides protects soil health and reduces reliance on their production, which can be energy-intensive.
    - Focus on Sustainable Practices: Practices like agroforestry can improve soil health, potentially leading to increased carbon sequestration.
    - Water Management: Efficient irrigation techniques can minimize water usage and conserve this vital resource.

3. Category Selection: CCN prioritizes specific climate solution categories. ILAMAF aligns with several potential categories:
    - Nature-Based Solutions: Agroforestry practices can contribute to habitat restoration and carbon sequestration.
    - Renewable Energy: ILAMAF utilizes biogas digesters to capture methane emissions from animal waste and convert it to biogas for energy.
    - Sustainable Food Production: Organic and closed-loop production systems promote environmentally responsible food production.
