## Elevator Pitch
We seek to regenerate desert areas.

## Climate Problem
My project is focused on mitigating and combating the impact of desertificacion.
It's important because climate change affects us all; it impacts health, development, and the economy in general.

## Solution
Argan tree cultivation (Argania spinosa) is a powerful tool for halting desertification and revitalizing rural economies. As an extremely drought-resistant species capable of stabilizing degraded soils, it acts as a natural barrier against Desertification

## Revenue Model
The comprehensive use of Argan in an agro-silvo-pastoral system (agriculture, trees and livestock), and the growing demand for its oil has transformed communities through the creation of cooperatives that generate income and local employment.

## Target Market
The most important market for argan oil, from the perspective of consumption and revenue generation, is North America, a region that holds approximately 33.2% to 37.6% of the global market share.

## Social Impact
Indigenous Peoples, Persons Belonging to National or Ethnic - Religious and Linguistic Minorities, Migrants, People Living in Extreme Poverty, Women

## Demand Evidence
The cosmetics sector is the main driver of the market, representing about 59% of global demand, followed by culinary use and applications in the pharmaceutical industry.
Current production does not meet global demand.

## Competitors
There are no competitors in my country, nor in all of Latin America.

## Founder Expertise
I have training and experience in ecotourism, agroecology, organic farming, forestry, and environmental management.
In addition, I will contribute my worldview, ideas, talent, and effort.

## External Support
Nothing, none, negative. Zero.
