Sand to Green Co-Founder & Chief Agricultural Officer, Wissal Ben Moussa, is well-known for her Moroccan startup which says it can transform a patch of desert into a sustainable and profitable plantation in just five years.
Following an article about Wissal, published by The Africa Business Index, Gautier de Carcouët (Co-Founder & Chief Finance Officer) at Sand to Green) proudly corroborates:
“Behind this portrait, Wissal is also:
👉 An extraordinary agronomic success, with the creation of a productive farm run using agroecology at the gateway to the desert, where nothing grows.
👉 dozens of local farmers trained to update their techniques and share best practice in a context of climate change and increased drought.
👉 … the Sand to Green researcher, the one who advances our knowledge and provides us with an agronomic approach that is ever more suited to the arid climates in which we deploy our major projects.
🌳 Today, Sand to Green is also about equipping this knowledge so that tomorrow’s project developers can replicate these successes”.
