If we want to see meaningful and lasting action on climate change, we must invest in young people. When young people are introduced to sustainable practices early in life, they are more likely to carry that knowledge, mindset, and responsibility with them into adulthood.
As a host of the Green Girls Summer Camp, we welcomed the girls to our farm for a practical learning experience focused on climate-smart and sustainable agriculture. The visit was an opportunity to show them not only what we do, but also why we do it.
At our farm, we practice permaculture, agroecology, agroforestry, organic farming, and regenerative agriculture. We believe that this knowledge should not remain with us, but it should be shared, transferred, and put into practice by as many people as possible so that we can collectively contribute to restoring and protecting our planet.
Our team took the girls through different areas of the farm where they explored our tree nursery, maize and sorghum alley cropping system, tomato and vegetable guilds, and medicinal garden, gaining practical insights into how different plants and farming systems can work together to improve productivity, biodiversity, and ecosystem health.
The girls also learned about our water management systems, including how we harvest, store, direct, and utilise water across the farm. They were introduced to the importance of designing farm elements to perform multiple functions, a key principle of permaculture that allows us to make better use of resources while building a more resilient and sustainable farming system.
