About this project

TERRAGRN aims to transform degraded and unutilized lands of about 200,000 ha into sustainable, biodiverse, and carbon-sequestering agroforests in the Nkangala District of Mpumalanga Province in South Africa. By revitalizing degraded lands, we mitigate the environmental, social, and economic impacts of the climate crisis our planet is currently facing. The agroforests will safeguard food security, accelerate socio-economic development in local communities. TERRAGRN is one of the few pioneering players within the global green economy focused on changing the status quo of how a business needs to be – with a clear objective to restore rather than damage the planet. As responsible businesses, we are investing time and capital into our nature so we can revive biodiversity, sequester carbon, improve productive yield, generate jobs, bring more women into the workforce, and create socio-economic progress and a safer planet for the future generations. TERRAGRN applies regenerative and circular economy practices across its business model. We are creating an open-source, community-centric business model blueprint which can be replicated globally.
