Our mission is to reforest regions which have been degraded due to agriculture. We are able to do this by reducing the land use necessary for croplands. Our products include fully regulated greenhouses made of bamboo instead of steel. We use this material to have a significantly lower carbon footprint. Our target groups are existing farmers in developing countries in Africa. Especially, we are starting our operations in Senegal due to their increased experiences with drought as a result of climate change. We are focussing our efforts at reducing agricultural land mass and reforesting existing farmland to help stabilise the regional climate.
Entrepreneurship should be a system which leads to constant innovation to find better ways of helping people and our planet. Facing the current problems related to climate change, we need to innovate rapidly. This is mainly important for the building industry as it is estimated to account for roughly 40% of global emissions. Our economies need to find new ways which can begin to store large amounts of greenhouse gas emissions through smart systems. Our answer is simple. Forests are a proven way to do this, which means we need more of it.
