The Aspiration community is supporting pollinator agroforestry in Haiti. Not sure what that means? In a nutshell, pollinator agroforestry is a sustainable farming method that promotes biodiversity and benefits pollinators (like bees 🐝). This helps grow in-demand products and boosts local economies. In Haiti, the project Aspiration is supporting is a honey-optimized model that has been co-created with partners, farmers, and honey producers 🍯 Thank you to everyone who is enabling this important work!* Photos courtesy of veritree *Aspiration Debit Cards are issued by Coastal Community Bank, Member FDIC, pursuant to a license by Mastercard® International Incorporated.
