Asia Plantation Capital invites the UN’s recognition of Agroforestry as essential to global green growth. United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has called for Agroforestry and Agriculture to be scaled as much as deal with food scarcity and help satisfy the challenge of climate change.

The diversity amongst crops of plantation trees with intercropping of fruit, veggie and other resource & consumable crops is viewed as a practical procedure to use land, maintain and enhance soil nutrition, increase food supply and aid address rural poverty, poor nutrition and regional economic advancement. These sensible words at the Third Global Conference on Agriculture, Food and Nutrition Security and Climate Modification held recently in Johannesburg, were welcomed by Asia Plantation Capital.

Barry Rawlinson, CEO of Asia Plantation Capital, commented how “at Asia Plantation Capital we whole heartedly support this UN backed effort. As a professional plantation business running in some financially challenged backwoods across Southeast Asia we have actively sort-out sensible intercropping and supplemental food production opportunities. In Northeast Thailand for example banana showcases heavily as an intercrop during the early life of both Teak and Aquilaria tree plantations, and we also encourage our regional plantation managers to grow veggie and salad crops for their own and relations needs.”.

This essential event was arranged jointly by the Governments of South Africa and the Netherlands and partially moneyed by the World Bank and the UN FAO. Prominent organizations representing a global approach to increase climate-smart and sustainable farming practices, in addition to to fuel green development.

Natural Resource Management is a core issue for Asia Plantation Capital. Their internal know-how not only covers plantation management & forestry skills on their developed operations in Thailand & Sri Lanka, with their expansion into other countries they have added internal forest auditing and remain in negotiation with strategic universities to broaden their Forestry R&D Collaborations into broader research study on the economic benefits and social impact of agroforestry.

“We have seen how our method of organizing speciality plantations into clusters has provided a far greater economic improvement to local neighborhoods than the previous practice of spreading operations throughout a far larger area. It is now our objective to measure this positive impact so we can share reliable knowledge of social & financial changes & advantages with our own stakeholders, academic community and the broader green development neighborhood, in addition to to read more ourselves and fine-tune our practices and approach as essential” mentioned Barry Rawlinson.

Sustainability is identified as a really complicated subject. With the agriculture and agroforestry sectors it is the circulation and exchange of competence by downscaling global environment designs and incorporating this with grassroots knowledge and expertise that is extensively accepted as one of the essential building blocks in the development of constructive advancement recommendations and policies. Asia Plantation Capital sees their organisation as embedded in this constructive worldwide proces.
