Baobab & The Great Green Wall of Africa - Aduna

[@uggali]

A rural drift to revitalise local communities, their respective cultures, languages, and traditions. Empowering women to regenerate mother earth and reconnecting the children to their local environment. This is the greatest work on earth! Thank you Ghana🙌

[@francoislitalien493]

I loved this. The Baobab lives a very long time and is uniquely adapted to saving water. Bravo!

[@adunasuperfoods]

It's such an amazing tree!

[@catherineclinchardhoriuchi2023]

Beautiful work, truly inspiring! Look into rotational grazing as a way to help the soil hold more water, and make the land more productive.

[@adunasuperfoods]

Thank you Anton!

[@anna-lenameijer9942]

Anton, it's even better to grow feed for the animals the hypertonic way: using minimal water, keeping the cattle from grazing the land until the eco balance has been established. India uses this technique with success.

I’ve never seen baobab fruit products sold around here, I would love to try it. I always like trying new foods and I think there’s a hunger for that sort of thing these days

[@snowforest4159]

When I went to zimbabwe, had them raw like cracking the fuir itself raw, it's amazing

[@adunasuperfoods]

Where are you located? We do ship worldwide!

[@b_uppy]

They sell powders on Amazon, too.

[@ЛюбовьШелковенко-з7к]

I am glad that you care about the environment. If more breeders cared, it would be easier to live.

Baobab is so delicious that I'm willing to pay more than I used to so it improves the lives of 1000s with more to come.

[@soulshadoww55]

I agree, the baobob powder that I've had was sweet and delicious. I used it in my breakfast smoothies.

[@snowforest4159]

@@soulshadoww55 Its also amazing like raw, if more safety precautions were taken to transport it raw, I'd love to see baobab fruits in supermarketa

That is what Aduna was created to do! Thank you for your positive comment.

Dont export the raw product transform it that will help provide more jobs

[@downbntout]

Could it be a jam?

@@downbntout wouldn't taste nice as jam, it's at its best raw or as a powder

Through our baobab supply chain, over 3,000 women are benefiting from life-changing income. This is just from our Baobab Powder! Our wider product range impacts many more producers from Mali to Madagascar while boosting the health of our customers all over the world.

Exactly

The thing that usually happens is that the people producing the product........will get conned and others will become wealthy...... I hope that the people *CONTROL* the processing Locally......and then export the finish product....

[@lazarusramaube8291]

Ghana is up the street from South Africa, how do we get your products?

[@letsiecoetzee4665]

Great initiative. I would however be interested to know what is done to encourage baobab recruitment/new trees to be planted. In my home region, we do not find many juvenile baobab and the longevity of baobab trees may cause a false sense of sustainability, but a resource cannot be sustainable if the existing trees is not replaceable at some stage.

[@dwele7852]

good questions. Baobab trees live can live upward of 1500 years so while most trees are do need replacement it wont be for generations in this case. rom my understanding of the video just like crops more trees means more yields and better earnings. the next stage they seem to want implement is finding other resources similar to baobab that can fit into a similar agro forestry model. If baobab is not in your area perhaps something else unique is that has benefit o the environment and you can always go to market and see if you cna find seeds or the fruit and plant your own. I hope this helps 🙂

[@adunasuperfoods]

Thanks for your thoughtful comment Letsie! The trees are are all wild, meaning no plantations or monocultures. The income is already being recycled into new plantings, but this is as part of a permaculture approach, helping to contribute to regeneration of the local ecosystem. We are 8 years in and it is working well!

[@АртемЗахарченко-я7ь]

It is a deal of future. To succes.

[@b_uppy]

Just watched an interesting video that cited the UN was against carbon farming... I welcome seeing baobob in the market. Hope to buy some soon. Noticed it's on Amazon...

Don't just exploit the tree for economic gains Plant billion Baobab billion juniper billion sumac billion African tulip trees

[@Fabdanc]

This is part of the major challenge though... Without an economic incentive, these initiatives are failing in other parts of the Sahel. If the people planting the trees are not compensated in some capacity, either through long-term permaculture or through funds dispersed through the local governments... The people in these regions will continue to graze animals and cut down trees. It's a very nuanced conversation... But I think where these initiatives are proving most successful, these restoration projects are not producing monocultures. They are regenerating forests with trees that yield profits, other native trees, and creating permaculture systems working with the landscape. Sadly, other parts of this initiative are failing. Where I tend to see them fail is where there is no additional partnerships or ongoing education... The locals just abandon the projects because there is no immediate return and no further assistance.

[@adunasuperfoods]

Please rest assured that Aduna is a small, social purpose business which is partnered with a local conservation NGO, who in turn helps to form the women into self-managing co-operatives groups, who altogether (more than 100 of them) are part of a larger baobab co-operative society. While Aduna provides a vehicle for them into the market, all on-the-ground activities are lead by a highly passionate local team, with our collective mission to create sustainable income and help conserve the trees and restore the natural environment. The commercialisation of the fruits is the means by which they are being conserved, since the local communities are motivated to protect them from being chopped or bulldozed and replaced with the cash crops. Alongside the economic activity we also have the new plantings, which are done by the communities themselves.

[@TheDeskuuul]

Pls Ghana, don't just export the Boabab, also manufacture the end product and export it within Africa and then the rest of the world. We need intra African trade not just exporting raw materials to Europe and USA etc. only to buy the finished products at much higher prices. Imagine Africa as one country like USA, that's what the future holds for Africa, UNITED STATES OF AFRICA and that is the only way we can end the subjugation of black people in the world. All these out tiny tiny countries can't fend for themselves against juggernauts like EU, USA, UK, France and other wicked and imperialist countries. Russia and China have never colonized us by the way and was not part of the Berlin Conference in 1885 when they balkanized Africa into tiny fragmentations you see today.

[@lemokolyon]

Who had this strange idea to ''join the global market'' ? It will create more value on a local, regional market, if it becomes a local food basis, Then expend the market, or join other local productions for a national distribution. Global market as ''exportation'' will submit this product to western food industry that pays nothing.

Please don't use plastic in packets. Paper is better? (my country does not recycle plastic)

[@adunasuperfoods]

Our pouches can be recycled with carrier bags in the UK which is where the majority of our customer base is. We realise that some countries are not set up yet to recycle recyclable plastic yet however, unfortunately, paper packaging would not provide a sufficient moisture and oxygen barrier to keep the powders fresh. We are always working to improve the sustainability of our packaging and will keep you posted on any developments.
