Communication activities
We are arranging an event at the Commission that will be used to launch Margrethe's book which documents her projects in Africa that involved large scale planting of trees in Africa on degraded land. We are structuring a project in Europe where we plan to plant a billion trees in five years on degraded and desertified land in Europe using award winning Dutch Technology which uses 90% less water than normal irrigations systems and also has a 99% success rate in relation to the survival of trees.
Other activities
We have already met with Diederik Samson and he has indicated that the European Commission is interested in working with us and has asked us to meet further with Mr Lukas Visek to discuss further. We will certainly participate in Industry forums or expert groups if asked to do so.
Collaboration partners that we work with are:
University of Vallodalid
University of Wageningen (The Netherlands)
