Empowering African Farmers Through Verified Carbon Credits # 🌱 Carbon Mavuno **Empowering African Farmers Through Verified Carbon Credits** > *Mavuno means "harvest" in Swahili - representing the harvest of both crops and carbon credits for African farmers.* ## 🎯 Project Overview Carbon Mavuno is a blockchain-powered platform that enables smallholder farmers to earn verified carbon credits through sustainable agricultural practices, with AI-powered satellite verification and Guardian-based MRV workflows. ### The Problem We Solve - **$90 billion** African agricultural finance gap - Africa captures only **16%** of $1.4B carbon market despite having **98% untapped potential** - Traditional MRV costs **$50K-$200K** per project - Smallholder farmers excluded from voluntary carbon markets ### Our Solution - **Guardian-powered MRV workflow** for carbon credit verification - **AI satellite verification** reduces costs 100× ($50K → $500) - **Carbon credit tokenization (HTS)** enables trading - **Direct farmer access** to voluntary carbon markets - **HCS audit trails** ensure transparency ## 🏗️ Architecture ### Technology Stack **Frontend:** - Next.js 15 (App Router) - React Native (Mobile) - TailwindCSS + shadcn/ui - Zustand (State Management) - HashConnect (Wallet Integration) **Backend:** - Node.js + TypeScript - Supabase (PostgreSQL) - Express.js **Blockchain:** - Hedera Guardian (MRV) - Hedera Token Service (HTS) - Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) - Hedera File Service (HFS) - Hedera Smart Contract Service (HSCS) - Hedera AI Agent Kit **AI/ML:** - Sentinel Hub API (Satellite Imagery) - Custom NDVI Analysis - Carbon Calculation Models (IPCC Tier 1) - Anomaly Detection ## 📁 Project Structure ``` carbon-mavuno/ ├── web/ # Next.js 15 Web Application │ ├── app/ # App Router pages │ ├── components/ # React components │ ├── lib/ # Utilities and services │ ├── stores/ # Zustand state management │ └── hooks/ # Custom React hooks ├── mobile/ …
