About Green Gambia Solutions

A climate-smart enterprise committed to building practical, scalable ventures that strengthen communities while restoring the natural environment of The Gambia.

Climate-Smart Enterprise

Green Gambia Solutions is a climate-smart enterprise committed to building practical, scalable ventures that strengthen communities while restoring the natural environment of The Gambia. We operate at the intersection of agriculture, clean energy, and circular economy innovation — transforming waste into value and environmental challenges into economic opportunity.

At the heart of our work are two distinct flagship products: Biochar Soil Amendments that regenerate soils and improve agricultural productivity, and Green Briquettes — eco-friendly clean cooking fuel made from agricultural residues.

We are not only reducing environmental harm — we are actively enhancing ecosystems, restoring soil health, and strengthening communities through practical, locally driven climate solutions.

Why We Exist

85%

Health Crisis

Women are most exposed to smoke-related respiratory risks. Traditional charcoal creates severe health consequences for families across The Gambia.

40+

Environmental Impact

Despite a charcoal ban since the 1980s, forest degradation continues. The overreliance on fuelwood is a crisis decades in the making.

Accessibility Gap

Clean alternatives like gas and electricity remain out of reach. Demand for affordable, sustainable cooking fuel has never been higher.

1

Biochar Soil Amendments

High-quality biochar combined with composted poultry manure and nitrogen-rich organic inputs. A powerful biochar-based organic fertilizer that restores degraded soils and reduces dependency on chemical fertilizers.

2

Green Briquettes (Clean Fuel)

Eco-friendly briquettes made from agricultural residues and sustainable biomass. A cleaner alternative to traditional charcoal that reduces deforestation, lowers carbon emissions, and creates green employment for youth.

3

Circular Economy Model

Nothing is wasted. Poultry manure is composted, enriched with biochar, improving soil health and farm productivity. Agricultural residues become clean briquettes. Every output becomes a new opportunity.

Two Flagship Products, One Circular System

We produce high-quality biochar specifically designed to regenerate soils and improve agricultural productivity. Combined with composted poultry manure, we deliver a regenerative soil fertility system designed for long-term agricultural resilience.

Our Green Briquettes provide a cleaner and more responsible alternative to traditional charcoal. Briquette production is both a climate solution and a livelihood engine — enabling young people to participate in the green economy.
