Tusconomy believes that each parcel of land is an important and precious resource of our distinct and irreplaceable planet. Recognizing that our business will be judged by the integrity and permanence of its developments, which will survive its lifetime, Tusconomy will treat it with the respect that it deserves.
Tusconomy safeguards and enriches areas of natural and indigenous forest to protect flora and fauna and promote bio-diversity. This concept of sustainable forest management ensures a corporate contribution to the country, its people and our future. We contribute to nature helping to combat global warming. Our environmental management objectives are to maintain the highest level of conservation and environmental protection of the eco-system.
Sustainable forestry or sustainable agricultural production is the ability to consistently produce crops without degrading the environment physically or damaging it using harmful inputs. Improving yield, whilst utilizing lesser resources, is a key factor in sustainable production. Classic breeding for yield enhancement has reached a point of diminishing returns in many domesticated species. We at Tusconomy are developing technologies that enhance crop yield in order to maintain sustainable production models. With our yield enhancing technologies, we constantly strive to lower the footprint of plantation forests and industrial farms. We thereby reduce the destruction of natural forests and habitats, which is a key factor in the sustainability index.
The role of forests as “the lungs of the world” is well documented. With our yield protection technologies, we work constantly to maintain the health of these lungs. Our aim is to create sustainable plantations and practices, with crops that have good yield. Our processes are such that our crops have built in protection. This ability enhances the life of natural habitat and yields lower resources to thrive.
Though Tusconomy is primarily a commercial agroforestry operator, we strongly believe in the conservation and regeneration of indigenous flora, fauna and habitats. Our team therefore aims to ensure that environmentally sensitive areas, such as the coastal edge of rivers and wildlife corridors are planted with indigenous tree species. By encouraging those habitats to regenerate, Tusconomy maintains the balance of biodiversity in nature.
Tusconomy projects follow ecological and environmental principles, working closely with national environmental regulatory bodies. The business of Tusconomy relies directly on the productivity of the land, hence we ensure that land is used wisely.
