The Challenge
Mauritius imports most of its food and underutilizes its 86,000 ha of agricultural land. Rural communities lack opportunities, and hotels rely on long, unsustainable supply chains.
The Opportunity
Develop high-value, sustainable agriculture (e.g. vanilla, spices, exotic fruits) on available land—especially near the Bel Ombre hotel zone. Leverage circular practices, local processing, and short supply chains to boost food security, jobs, and resilience.
