Project Narrative

The project: A White pepper Model Farm Together with our partners Preta Terra and local PT Chan, renature has set up an agroforestry Model Farm to showcase a diversified, viable white pepper system that is both replicable at large scale and flexible according to the farmerÕs needs.

Through the integration of crops and trees, they are now returning life and productivity.
