Our Mission

Provide affordable environmental consulting services to the agricultural community.

Our Vision

To promote sustainability in the agricultural sector through environmental best practice.

Our Ethics

We work with the farmers, landowners and developers to attain reachable goals in the best interest to the environment.

Agriculture plays a pivotal role in conservation in South Africa since much of what remains conserved is on land zoned for agriculture and the owners of such land are thus the custodians of the natural environment.

Dirk Pretorius
Environmental Scientist

Environmental compliance on farms does not have to be a curse word, mine field or just another box to tick, like most constraints those that embrace it through innovation realise that it’s not about doing “more”, but about doing things “better”.
