Flagship Sustainability Initiative
SAGA — Community-First Carbon & Aquaculture Infrastructure
Our flagship sustainability initiative: a 40-hub biochar carbon removal and integrated aquaculture program in Eastern Nigeria, built with the communities that host it.
What It Is
Climate impact and food security, growing together.
Eighty planned production hubs convert agricultural residues into stable biochar — locking carbon into soil for centuries while supporting food production and local livelihoods. Each hub pairs biochar production with aquaculture and community agriculture, so climate impact and food security grow together.

Method & Verification
Transparent, third-party verified.
Biochar carbon accounting follows the Verra VM0044 methodology, with third-party verification before credits are issued.
Technology Angle
Cloud-powered climate reporting.
The facility's monitoring and reporting layer runs on AWS — sensor telemetry, production data, and satellite-informed land monitoring, streamed and reconciled through cloud infrastructure for transparent, audit-ready climate reporting.
The Founders
A decade of on-the-ground work.
Founded by Monica Ojinnaka and John Bassey Ogbonnaya after a decade of on-the-ground work across seven countries — SAGA stacks every small, proven solution into one model that works, scales, and belongs to the communities it serves.
