Restorative Cultivation

Our current extractive farming processes reduce the ancient natural potential of an ecosystem and its service value. We can see this in the industrial food system, which incentivizes mega-sized farming and monoculture, degrading the soil, wasting fertiliser and directly increasing emissions of greenhouse gases. When coral reefs bleach and rainforests are replaced by savannah, we know it will take centuries for these ecosystems to recover their complexity. If a similar collapse is allowed to happen in our agricultural heartlands, the consequences will be global.
We are creating ventures to avert this disaster, leveraging modern techniques to restore soil quality and increase biodiversity, while ensuring scalability through strong commercials and knowledgeable local partners. Using our proprietary methodology, we have a bioregional focus, assembling consortia of partners to create companies that can be scaled across similar ecosystems.

21st Century Crops
Creating circular bioeconomies through next-generation crops
There is an increasing need for sustainable and efficient ways to produce vital resources, from food and fibre to advanced materials like biofuels and bioplastics. In this article, we outline why we're interested in expanding the range of products produced from crops, and how we can create new venture-able opportunities, while supporting the growth of local, regional, and national bioeconomies.

Agricultural Transplantation
Why we need high-impact agricultural transplantation
Global food production is responsible for 80% of deforestation, 70% of freshwater use and, in drier regions, also leads to desertification. In this article, we outline approaches to reversing this trend, to increase the agricultural productivity of arid desert regions.

Wood Composites
Developing next generation construction materials
As the environmental costs of traditional construction materials have become more widely recognised, the demand for sustainable alternatives has risen. We discuss potential solutions, from fast-growing wood sources to new market applications.
