Vision Statement

"To assist the sugar cane farming community with knowledge and tools to find solutions capable of bringing balance to our partnership with nature!"

By the end of 2010 we will become an outstanding example of sustainability in sugar cane farming systems by providing a system of tools and knowledge built around carbon smart equipment and values as a means of developing triple bottom line profitability and improving our ecological footprint with CO2 reductions recognising the importance of nature’s capital in developing resilience.

Ecologically sustainable development values nature's capital within a system that lives off the interest of nature's capital. This interest is the ability to recycle humanities waste in line with the demands of humanity's growth and evolution.

Our vision recognises that we are living beyond our means ecologically and we must find the technological, social and environmental means to be in balance with nature's capital and begin living in Nature's interest rather than consuming Nature's capital. We need a new toolkit dedicated to sustainability!
