The Landscape Approach

Rural communities face complex, interconnected challenges—from declining agricultural productivity to ecosystem degradation and limited economic opportunity.

We adopt a landscape approach to turn these challenges into shared opportunities—by aligning environmental restoration, agricultural development, and inclusive finance within a single, integrated system.

The key components of the Landscape Approach

Our model is built on six core principles

Integration of Environment, Agriculture, and Economic Development

Sustainable and Scalable Solutions

Blending Capital and Funding Streams into local Communities

Multi Stakeholder Collaboration

Tailored Solutions for Local Context

Long-term vision and commitment

A Holistic Framework

We address key challenges within a defined geographic and socio-ecological context through three interlinked pillars:

Systems Thinking

Each of our solutions is independently viable—but it’s their interaction that drives real change.

By designing for synergy, we unlock scalable opportunities while tackling deep-rooted structural issues.

We view landscapes as living platforms for opportunity—where sustainability, innovation, and collaboration work in concert to deliver long-term, shared outcomes.

Case Study

In Mindanao, we bring the landscape approach to life by

Supporting smallholder farmers through an inclusive contract-growing model

Operating our own farms to create employment in remote and underserved areas

Connecting local production—from fresh produce and tropical commodities to fiber—to sustainable markets

Restoring ecosystems through reforestation and forest protection initiatives

The result? Regenerated landscapes, stronger rural incomes, and climate-positive supply chains—built with communities, not just for them.

Why it Matters?

We believe rural landscapes hold the key to solving some of today’s most pressing challenges—from food security and climate resilience to inclusive economic growth.

Our approach shows that when environmental integrity aligns with market opportunity, we can create value that lasts—for communities, for ecosystems, and for future generations.
