Project Description
The Udumuka Farm pilot project is Green Horizon's first large scale pilot and acts as a proof of concept. This pilot project establishes a (preliminary and) scalable model for a regionally-adapted reforestation approach to sequester carbon, restore and conserve biodiversity, and to produce products for harvest and use by local communities. Forests and wooded ecosystems play a vital role in the local landscapes and communities, and are most likely to be successful if they are ‘multi-functional’. The design uses a holistic approach to achieve as many diverse goals as possible, while ensuring the primary goals are met.
The design is based on ecological principles that mimic local forest ecosystem dynamics – those of the ‘dry miombo woodland’ – and adapt them to meet the project constraints and goals. The dry miombo woodland is a dominant ecosystem type in the Iringa area (and large areas of Tanzania and east Africa and southern Africa).
Stakeholders and local communities involved in the project
PI Holding Ltd. The 'Green Team', or planting / preparation team, the members and the families of the project who receive security of income from their employment. The local community of Udumuka. Iringa District Council. Tanzania Forest Services (TFS) & Tanzania Forestry Reaearch Institute (TAFORI).
Project Goals
This pilot project establishes a (preliminary and) scalable model for a regionally-adapted reforestation approach to sequester carbon, restore and conserve biodiversity, and to produce products for harvest and use by local communities. This model will be used to expand to thousands of hectares in the (near) future as part of Green Horizon's current project pipeline.
Co-benefits
Job creation, research, carbon credit education, local collaboration, and permaculture / regenerative farming education.
