Our sector, agriculture, is one which relies exhaustively on biodiversity and natural capital but paradoxically can be a driver of negative impact and species decline. UFF operates exclusively in Africa, whose biological organisms comprise about 25% of all known biodiversity, and we have selected SDG 15, Life on Land, as one of our flagship goals. We acknowledge the weight of responsibility that our operations carry with them; we are committed to the conservation or improvement of biodiversity on all our farms and we have set ambitious targets in this respect, including soil health management, reforestation commitments and a focus on wild pollinator habitats. ”
