We are proud to operate 100% off-grid, relying solely on clean energy sourced from solar power. By harnessing renewable energy, we significantly reduce our carbon footprint and contribute to a cleaner and greener planet
Through the implementation of drip irrigation systems, we optimize water usage, ensuring that every drop counts. This not only conserves precious water resources but also minimizes the risk of water wastage and promotes sustainable farming practices.
We purposefully farm on small land sizes, avoiding the deforestation often associated with large commercial farms. By prioritizing sustainable land use practices, we minimize our ecological footprint and preserve natural habitats for future generations.
We are committed to empowering local communities by providing employment opportunities, with a focus on achieving gender parity. Through our recruitment efforts, we ensure a 50:50 gender balance among our workforce, actively engaging women in traditionally male-dominated sectors.
As advocates for youth empowerment, 90% of our management team comprises young leaders, with 50% being women. Additionally, we prioritize hiring youths from surrounding villages, providing them with valuable skills and opportunities for professional growth.
Our graduate trainee programme, now in its fourth successful year, equips recent graduates with practical skills and knowledge relevant to the agricultural industry. By investing in the next generation of leaders, we foster innovation and ensure a sustainable legacy of impact for years to come.
We extend our sincere gratitude to Ms. Anshula Kant and her delegation for their pivotal role in providing catalytic first-loss capital through the Zambia Agribusiness and Trade Project (ZATP) in 2020.
