SUSTAINABLE AGROFORESTRY
ON OUR FARM IN GHANA
Our concept is simple and based on tradition:
Half of the natural development of a mixed forest is replanted on formerly degraded pasture land. Depending on the location, we reforest a selection of different tree species. In the foreground of this forestry concept is the yield from the timber industry combined with Agricultural economics, with a focus on spice cultivation.
PERMANENT FOREST DESPITE TIMBER HARVEST
Nature and tradition on the large continent of Africa dictate how sustainable management works. We orient our management concept to this because permanently existing forest means a selective harvest and constant forest cover, with continuous replanting of new tree seedlings, mixed with shade herbs such as vanilla and pepper.
Some of the criteria we use to judge sustainable forestry:
- No overexploitation of the forest
- Promoting biodiversity
- No clear cuts
- Use of pesticides only when required by law
- Protection of the forest floor
A WORTHWHILE INVESTMENT
With our generation forests, we achieve a green return for our investors - without exploiting people and nature. Agroforestry means investing in inflation-protected assets such as wood and generating long-term, secure returns.
