Nasivali is 52 years old, married, has 5 children and is raising his grandson, pictured in this photo. He has a high school education. Since 2000, the main income for his family has been from raising livestock and crops. Thanks to his hard work, he has on his farm today 3 cows and 15 sheep, as well as a 1.2 hectare plot of land on which he grows tomatoes and peppers.
To further develop his farm, Nasivali has turned to Bai-Tushum Bank for a loan in the amount of 50,000 som (KGS) to buy seeds and fertilizer to grow organic produce. The income from the loan will help build a house for his family.

Organic agriculture is a part of regenerative agriculture. Regenerative ag can help reverse climate change by rebuilding soil organic matter and restoring degraded soil biodiversity – resulting in both carbon drawdown and improving the water infiltration and thus reducing erosion.

It is estimated that people's land management caused the loss of half the carbon stored in soils. That's a huge loss of fertility and source of emissions.

Krygyzstan is a mountainous and sparsely populated small country north of India and China. Less than 8% of the land is cultivated. Some folks are still semi-nomatic herders living in yurts. Krygyzstan has struggled to adapt to the fall of the Soviet Union in 1990.
