Forests do more for the climate than store and sequester carbon.

For example, they:

✅ regulate rainfall
✅ provide cooling benefits
✅ protect coastal areas
✅ provide forest products for local communities facing climatic threats

1/2 A trip down to Chegutu to learn about our Hub & Spoke model:

Zimbabwe is working to grow citrus hectarage. How? By including more growers.
Dodhill is a great example. Through Hub & Spoke, estates such as Dodhill are working with local A1 & A2 farmers to increase production

Another wheat record for Zimbabwe.

Zimbabwe’s record wheat produce now stands at 465 000 tonnes.

The harvest from this year’s winter wheat crop is 100 000 tonnes more than national demand, which presently stands at 360 000 tonnes.
