How we work

We find it important to be clear and transparent from the start: Only by getting a good understanding of the needs of our partners, can we manage expectations and set realistic and cost effective goals that have a lasting impact.

This generally starts with a series of meetings whereby we encourage partners to put all agenda’s on the table. This requires building a level of trust between stakeholders.

Once we are clear on what needs to be achieved, we tend to start with a feasibility study that includes soil and water testing and land mapping. Depending on the assignment this is often followed with the development of a realistic business plan, investor and finance facilitation and expert acquisition and contracting.

Examples of soil sampling and land mapping.
