Thoraya Saeda
Director of Carbon Footprint Center at Heliopolis University
"Regenerative agriculture turns farmland into a carbon sink — storing atmospheric CO2, restoring soil health, and making farms resilient to drought and extreme weather."
How does the Carbon Footprint Center contribute to climate action?
We work with organizations to help them measure and mitigate their environmental impact, and we provide operational recommendations to optimize energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions — turning measurement into action.
What's the significance of Egypt's new Voluntary Carbon Market?
We provide continuous on-the-ground training, access to organic inputs like compost, and a guaranteed market for their transitional and fully organic produce.
