2. MIMOSA+, regenerating and
revitalising the soil and ecosystems
Over the past five years, we have witnessed significant climate change impacts on our crops, with more
variability in the yields across our growing zones and an overall decrease in harvested volumes per
hectare. Recognising that climate change and soil erosion have increasingly disruptive impacts on the
harvests, we have decided to step up our efforts by introducing MIMOSA+. This is our proactive response
to enhance climate resilience across our growing zones, in line with the widely accepted principles of
regenerative agriculture.
