Sustainable Business in Zimbabwe with Maureen Vere

from The Net Zero Business Podcast

I'm always very conscious that the pod tends to feature European or US guests, so this week I'm delighted to reach across the equator to Zimbabwe to talk to sustainable entrepreneur Maureen Vere. Maureen's company Verager grows cowpeas alongside maize as a living mulch to protect the latter from climate impacts, and then processes those cowpeas into a range of vegan food products, all the while promoting women in agriculture.As well as digging into that clever green business model, Maureen and I discuss the Sustainability environment in Zimbabwe including the surging uptake of solar + battery domestic energy systems.Finally, Maureen lists her key advice for people working in Sustainable business – very wise words indeed!This episode is brought to you by Terra Infirma Ltd – Bringing Sustainability to Life Hosted on Acast.
