These include the cultivation, harvesting, and sale of timber. This process not only protects natural resources and combats climate change, but also creates meaningful local jobs for the farmers and secures additional jobs in the processing industry due to a sustainable supply of resources.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner row_inner_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; equal_height=&#8221;yes&#8221; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;153938&#8243;][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_single_image media=&#8221;2907&#8243; media_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; shape=&#8221;img-round&#8221; radius=&#8221;std&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;942744&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; back_color=&#8221;color-xsdn&#8221; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; radius=&#8221;std&#8221; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;3\/4&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;136447&#8243; back_color_type=&#8221;uncode-palette&#8221;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;129219&#8243;]<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Responsible consumption and production means minimal processing in cultivation and fabrication. At Fairventures, we champion locally grown timber for construction, as the production of materials such as concrete and plastic emit large amounts of CO2. As a means of forestry protection, CO2 compensation, as well as sustainable production and construction, we study and promote local woods in Uganda and Indonesia that can be quickly grown by local farmers and used in eco-friendly construction. Used in mass timber construction, timber often replaces emission-intensive materials such as steel or concrete. We are continuously working on a sustainable and fair value chain from smallholder farmers across the processing industry to consumers.\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner row_inner_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; equal_height=&#8221;yes&#8221; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;153938&#8243;][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_single_image media=&#8221;2905&#8243; media_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; shape=&#8221;img-round&#8221; radius=&#8221;std&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;148445&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; back_color=&#8221;color-xsdn&#8221; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; radius=&#8221;std&#8221; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;3\/4&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;928654&#8243; back_color_type=&#8221;uncode-palette&#8221;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;250483&#8243;]<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the fastest ways to stop rising global temperatures is carbon sequestration. Fairventures promotes fast-growing lightwood timber species and mass timber construction of buildings with a triple benefit for carbon sequestration: absorption of CO2 in the growing trees, long-term storage in lasting timber products and buildings and substitution of emission-intensive materials like steel and concrete by timber products. In turn, such projects connect companies, governments, and private persons.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/uncode_slider][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner
