Win Win
We create solutions where the company wins, the investor wins, the farmer wins.
Nurture began life actively seeking out and taking on investment opportunities in both the financial and agri-business sectors of southern Africa. When we came across the opportunity to help revive the enormously successful beef industry in our home country of Zimbabwe, we jumped into action. With a mentorship-style education programme in place, designed to roll out across the country over the next two years, Nurture believes that we can make a meaningful difference to beef cattle farming and the industry in both the short and long term by empowering farmers withthe type of knowledge that only comes through years of experience. This is a serious commitment and one in which we– and our stakeholders – are proudly invested.
These five core values embody Nurture’s culture, which includes a true hands-on involvement.
These are the values that keep us aligned and help us make decisions about everything we do.
We create solutions where the company wins, the investor wins, the farmer wins.
We make decisions that will last longer than we will.
We create meaningful and supportive connections everyday – from expert to farmer to investor and all the way back again.
We think smarter, we work harder, and we do it together in the spirit of sharing.
