Culture/Nature/Community Aspect?
Yes – In an effort to drive new and innovative ways to diversify the wildlife economy in northern Botswana, the Okavango Craft Brewery aims to provide an attractive market for small-scale farmers who work hard to coexist with elephants.
The farmers we buy from are using innovative techniques to protect themselves and their fields from elephants, avoiding cultivating on corridors, allowing elephants safe passage along major movement corridors to the Okavango, and practicing more sustainable intensive farming methods, using ‘low till’ or conservation agriculture principles.
Through a partnership between the Okavango Craft Brewery and local NGO Ecoexist Trust, local farmers residing in the area now have the opportunity to be linked to and benefit from a new market, offering some reward for their efforts to coexist with elephants, and creating sustainable, inclusive growth for our local economy here in the Okavango region. Our products will give consumers the choice to support both farmers and wildlife, while enjoying quality products.
