How do we work with local communities?
Bonic will target degraded lands in highly diverse areas for building the Food Forests. By taking this approach, we aim to provide local communities with more resilient and valuable resources. Additionally, we will help address one of the main challenges in species conservation: habitat fragmentation.
Once we have identified the working areas, we will work hand in hand with focal communities for co-creating the Food Forests. As a result of this process, we will generate a list of the plant species (and practices) that will be used for building the Food Forests.
In this part, we will specifically target plant species with potential for:
provide resources that can potentially be sold by the local communities in the future, such as fruits, natural oils, or natural pigments
have the potential to store huge amounts of carbon
are vital for boosting the region's biodiversity, such as trees and bushes key for pollinators.
As 3 to 5 years may be needed for Food Forests to start generating a profit for local communities, Bonic will provide an income to cover all their needs during this period.
