01 Who we are
Together,
we regenerate.
CYCLE is a youth-led civil society organisation (CSO) in Guyana. We treat regenerative agriculture, biodiversity, community health, youth and women's enterprise as one system, because a farmer with healthy soil and no market is still poor, and a clinic without nutritious food still treats the same illness twice.

02 Our model
The value is in the turn.
Most organisations pick one of these four. We run all four as a loop: each turn feeds the next.
-
Field science with Indigenous communities on how biodiversity, farming and community health connect, published openly.
-
Evidence becomes training, mentorship and enterprise support for women, Indigenous and youth farmers.
-
Their farms taken public: marketing the produce while raising national awareness of what grows in Guyana's soil.
-
Findings land in policy papers for climate-resilient agriculture, in Guyana and across the Caribbean.
- Regenerative Agriculture
- Nutrition & Preventive Health
- Youth & Environmental Education
- Women's Enterprise
- Biodiversity Conservation
