Description
Hello
We are a Tanzanian startup NGO "", passionately working to restore ecosystems, mitigate climate change, and empower communities through the domestication of native trees. We're domesticating native tree species, like Anisophyllea boehmii, which offer edible fruits and nuts. The process involve Identifying and selecting valuable native species, conducting research to fill knowledge gaps about these trees, Engaging communities to establish native tree nurseries and planting, Advocating for native tree conservation and sustainable use. While domesticating native trees we use the syntropic agroforestry farming practice/methodology in small household farms “Syntropic Agriculture, on the other hand, helps the farmer replicate and accelerate the natural processes of ecological succession and stratification, giving each plant the ideal conditions for its development, placing each one in their “just right” position in space (strata) and in time (succession). As a young entrepreneur, I'm dedicated to using my skills and experience in forestry and business development to drive positive change and strongly willing to learn.
