Look after the land, and it will look after us.
A sustainable future is founded on protecting the natural assets that contribute to our health and wealth: the land, water, flora and fauna. NACC coordinates and implements environmental projects across the Northern Agricultural Region (NAR), an area of 8 million hectares of valuable agricultural and natural landscape.
A region of global significance.
- it is part of one of only 34 biodiversity hotspots worldwide
- it contributes around $1 billion in agricultural products a year to the national economy, and
- it is one of the world's most vulnerable areas to climate change.
