About this project

TERRAGRN's mission is to create positive social, environmental, and economic change through innovative nature-based solutions (NbS), developed in collaboration with local communities. As part of the 1st VPA of the PoA, TERRAGRN is transforming degraded and unutilised lands of about 16,000 ha into a sustainable, biodiverse, and carbon-sequestering agroforest. By revitalising degraded lands, we address and mitigate the environmental, social, and economic impacts of the climate crisis and will safeguard food security, accelerate socio-economic development in local communities, and also support energy transition away from fossil fuels to renewable sources. The first VPA in South Africa is aimed at restoring and regenerating 16,000 Ha of unused degraded land in Nkangala district of Mpumalanga province into a biodiverse agroforest.
