Preserving Biodiversity
Collaborating with national parks, we implemented planting programs to create natural pollinator havens around free-range farms. This initiative not only supports bee populations but also promotes natural pest control, benefiting both farmers and the environment.
Educating the Next Generation
We partnered with local schools to install mini-coops, fostering educational workshops where children learn about ethical food choices, animal welfare, and the importance of local farming. This program has seen over 500 students engaged, many expressing a newfound appreciation for sustainable agriculture.
