By: Kee Farms Foundation Nicholas Kee (https://www.tantvstudios.com/ While COP29's agreement to provide $300 billion annually in climate finance by 2035 fell significantly short of the $1.3 trillion demanded by developing countries, Kee Farms Foundation is already delivering solutions on the ground. By harnessing the blue economy, Kee is cultivating seaweed that absorbs up to 20 times more carbon per acre than trees, providing an innovative way to sequester carbon while restoring ocean biodiversity. Beyond carbon sequestration, the Foundation is exploring the use of seaweed in producing biochar, activated carbon, and biodegradable products. With a patent pending for activated carbon derived from seaweed, Kee Farms Foundation is poised to enter a market projected to reach $8.9 billion by 2026. Kee Farms Foundation has trained over 50 Jamaican fisherfolk as seaweed farmers, with a goal of reaching 1,000 by 2030. These efforts not only reduce reliance on overfishing but also offer sustainable livelihoods to coastal communities most affected by climate change. Despite facing regulatory challenges and funding hurdles, Kee Farms Foundation has successfully secured over $500,000 in funding through support and partnerships with global organizations such as UNICEF, UNDP, Sandals Foundation, and the World Bank. Additional backing from climate-focused entities, including The Earthshot Prize, Schmidt Marine Technology Partners, and others has further elevated the Foundation's international recognition and expanded its reach. Kee Farms Foundation is set to scale its operations beyond Jamaica, with plans to establish initiatives in Latin America, Africa, and Southeast Asia. About Kee Farms Foundation Kee Farms Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to combating climate change through regenerative ocean and land agriculture. The Foundation focuses on seaweed cultivation, ocean habitat restoration, and empowering local communities.ds. End
