The Agro-Ecological Business Case
This landmark Biovision report examines how 68 high-potential agroecological enterprises in East Africa combine commercial viability with positive social and environmental impact. It highlights key drivers of success, barriers to growth and recommendations for scaling their impact. Hearts & Minds created all infographics and data visualisations, and designed the report and executive summaries.
