The Future of Land Restoration Finance in Africa: From Billions of Dollars to Billions of Trees

Now, there are new ways to invest in businesses restoring land across Africa – to resource land restoration champions and close the legendary “missing middle” funding gap. The Land Accelerator has trained more than 200 of Africa’s leading restorative businesses; TerraFund for AFR100 has issued low-interest loans of $50,000 to $500,000; and Africa Eats has created a holding company to build the long-term value of sustainable agriculture businesses.
