“ConservationLinks began way before 2015, the year it was incorporated”
Before 2015, farming was just restricted to traditional agriculture practice such as “burn-and-slash”. This meant that harvest was unreliable and unpredictable, as these traditional farming practices often can’t keep up with changing climate changes, rising consumer demands as well as competitors with bigger wallet to employ modern (but not necessary planet-friendly) practices. These in turn harm the livelihood of farmers, putting them back into the poverty cycle.
“PROBLEMS AND CHALLENGE “statement”
Limitations of traditional agricultural practices
Unreliable and unpredictable harvest from traditional agriculture practices often meant that farmers were unable to keep up with changing climates, rising consumer demands and bigger competitors.
Rise of modernization from bigger corporate players
Competitors who focus on wallet-first and planet-last, tend to bigger budgets and access to high- tech modern tools, which bypass traditional farmers, robbing their only chance of livelihood.
Farmers trapped in poverty cycle
Traditional farmers tend to have no access to higher technology know-how or education to improve production quality and output of their land.
Merging of research consultancy with farm as one entity
Since 2015, with the incorporation of ConservationLinks Pte Ltd, we have now successfully merge traditional agriculture practice on our farms with modern agroforestry science, conservation science and research.
This has helped ABCEDEGGEE (write out the outcome goals)
Milestones of our conservation science research
Small-Batched Produced
Each coffee, spice and herb is produced in small batches to ensure the best quality at an equally reasonable price.
Freshness Guaranteed
Our GMP/ISO/ HACCP certifications guarantees that all produce you purchase from us is fresh, as if you grew and harvested right from your own garden.
