The BDA Foundation trains African entrepreneurs in the methods of cultivating medicinal plants from a sustainable development perspective. BDA is conducting a pilot-project in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and envisions replicating the experience in other African countries.
Canadian Geographic reports:
Under the three-year program, “ecopreneurs” learn how to cultivate and process specialized plants as well as how to run a sustainable, community-based business. In the final year, the BDA Foundation, which has already built a plant-processing centre in Luki, DRC, acts as an incubator for nascent startups, a few of which are on the cusp of launching.
