Research from the World Bank and other agencies have pointed out that agriculture is a sector with great potential but the earth is under great pressure from multiple, unfolding and interacting forces, including:
- Climate change
- Reduction in arable land (erosion, desertification, salinization, etc.)
- Pollution and biodiversity loss
- Growing population with matching levels of food insecurity and poverty
- 2.5 billion living in water-stressed or water-scarce conditions
- Increased food demand
- Negative agricultural practices to cope with shrinking resources and increased demand (overgrazing, inappropriate cropping, overfishing etc)
Successful short- and long-term adaptation to internal and external, biotic and abiotic, social and economic forces requires access to information and indicators on the current situation and possible future.
Trade Synergy is an innovative and forward-thinking company that recognises the need for responsible agricultural practices to create a future where ecological harmony and agricultural prosperity can co-exist. Sustainable agriculture adopts productive, competitive and efficient practices, while protecting and improving the environment and the global ecosystem, as well as the socio-economic conditions of local communities in line with human dignity.
We are steadfastly dedicated to ensuring sustainability, while contributing to the social equity and economic development of any region we conduct operations in. We do this through the following mediums:
a) Responsible and Ethical Sourcing
We prioritize the sourcing and procurement of responsibly grown and high-quality products from local suppliers. This includes sustainably grown agriproducts like organic, non-GMO (non-genetically modified) grains, pulses, cotton etc. By doing this, we drive greater market demand for produce that has been cultivated through environmentally friendly farming practices, thus creating an economic incentive for local farmers to adopt such practices. By offering such organic products to our customers, we encourage consumers to make ecologically conscious decisions that align with our values and contribute to a more sustainable food system.
b) Empowering Local Farmers
One of our objectives in Trade Synergy is to create community impact, and we do this by introducing farmers to more sustainable, yet high rewarding farming methods. We encourage farmers to utilize natural resources in ways that re-energize their productive capacity, while minimizing harmful impacts on ecosystems in and beyond their farmlands. We urge and commend the adoption of eco-friendly farming techniques including the use of renewable, natural energy resources, organic farming, crop rotation, agroforestry and reduced dependence on chemical fertilizers and pesticides
c) Efficient Supply Chain Operations
Trade Synergy leverages innovative and cutting-edge technology solutions for the movement and delivery of products and services from the supplier to the buyer. We facilitate efficient logistics and supply chain processes through digitally empowered solutions such as route mapping and optimization; real-time tracking and monitoring for traceability and transparency; smart warehouse management; encouraging eco-friendly packaging and collaboration platforms. All of these solutions work together to create a supply chain that has reduced environmental footprints and carbon emissions.
d) Research and Development
In the spirit of consistent improvement, Trade Synergy is on a continuous search for ways to enhance our services, processes and impact. Thus, we always upgrade our services to match with international standards and align with relevant insights and scientific findings fostered on sustainable growth.
To us at Trade Synergy, we believe that a prosperous earth is one that allows for a life in dignity in the present without compromising a life in dignity for future generations or threatening the natural environment and endangering the global ecosystem. Through our efforts, we believe in a healthier future.
