@asaskogstrom Do you have 30min to meet up at Skoll? I’d love to learn more about IKEA’s Social Entrepreneurs initiative and explore if @Komaza might be a good partner - we can sell beautiful, sustainable, farmer-grown wood products!

We’re honored & excited to have been selected by @climatefinlab for their 2018 Global Lab to develop our forestry financing innovation! Their support will go a long way to making smallholder farmers the future of African forestry!
