Description: In these banana plantations many measures have been taken to diminish the usual large footprint of such plantation, while ensuring the business case remains healthy.

Furry Specs:

• Organic manure instead of fertilizer
• Electricity from solar panels
• Cut down banana trees serve as extra manure
• Strictly local employment on behalf of minimal commuting
• Cocoa trees on the edges of the plantation: they hardly need manure and start to yield after 4 years
