Goals

Asjeba’s philosophy is to achieve ecological goals with fair business practice

Asjeba’s philosophy is to achieve sustainable soil management while creating at the same time an environment for local populations to have a better future for themselves and their children. The fundamental five-pronged approach include: rehabilitating degraded soils; making use of organic fertilisers only; promoting soil carbon enrichment; selecting only areas that are affected by or at risk of soil degradation; and promoting land-use planning and landscape-based approaches. Asjeba places people at the epicentre of its processes of consensus-building and planting will be done in cooperation with agricultural universities to achieve practice-oriented and applied research. The company’s approach is backed by a ground-breaking proof of concept in Costa Rica for biodiverse and integrated production of oil trees, shrubs and food crops on degraded soil. This unique combination of plants developed over a ten-year period by agronomists is capable of restoring soil quality and the water level while producing an industry-standard return on investment and better. The company will produce, process and package products on site and market and distribute them in Africa and worldwide. The concept is highly replicable and scalable across the same climate zone. It will create an infrastructure that will support 15,000 workers and their families including schools, clinics, shops and employee training. The lease form is an emphyteutic land lease contract suitable as collateral, the first term is 20 years renewable to 99 years.
