Seedlings Of Hope

Abundant Ventures started its life as a social enterprise in September 2020 in the midst of the pandemic. They have evolved from gifting seedlings to urban community gardens to engaging with urban smallholder farmers. To date, they have rescued 12,000 kgs of food, prevented 30,000 kgs of greenhouse gas emissions, accumulated close to 2,000 volunteer hours and donated close to 15,000 seedlings and seeds. I’m here with co-founder Elene Kee.
