MoZi Green and the environment
MoZi Green is located within an area where extensive historical deforestation of Miombo woodlands occurred more than 20 years ago as a result of shifting cultivation practices by local communities. For generations smallholder farmers have practiced subsistence agriculture as their main economic activity, characterised by shifting cultivation occurring after a few years when sites lose their natural soil fertility and yields decline. To compound this, these farmers do not use commercial inorganic fertilisers.
As an integral part of its environmental protection efforts, MoZi Green runs a small nursery from which it raises a combination of exotic eucalyptus and pine trees and some indigenous species like Chamfuta (Afzeliaquanzensis (Chamfuta), Red Mahogany (Khaya anthotheca), Moringa (Moringa Oleifera) and fruit trees like mango, lemon, orange trees and others.
For MoZi Green, chicken waste is farm gold. Chicken manure is processed and used as an organic fertiliser to increase soil fertility.
