Sistema.bio - Novastar

Smallholder farmers, who produce 70% of the world’s food, often face limited access to energy, agricultural inputs and waste management systems. These challenges are linked to poverty, food insecurity and climate change.

Sistema.bio empowers family farmers with innovative biodigester technology, training and financing, enabling them to convert waste into renewable energy and organic fertilizer. This integrated approach allows farmers to: generate renewable energy – producing biogas for cooking, heating, and electricity, reducing reliance on traditional fuels. Produce organic fertilizer – enhancing soil health and crop yields with biofertilizer, decreasing dependence on chemical fertilizers. Improve waste management – efficiently process animal waste, mitigating environmental pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.

Sistema.bio’s innovative technology and financing unlocks economic, health, and productivity benefits for farmers, building their resilience to climate change while reducing substantial greenhouse gas emissions.

"Novastar’s investment bolsters our ambition to scale our services across Africa. It also reinforces our commitment to climate action as we work toward achieving a 1% reduction in annual global greenhouse gas emissions by 2030."
