The indigenous approach is to manage the landscape with so-called “cool, slow” controlled burns often conducted at night. They’re designed to reduce dangerous fuel loads of scrub and fallen timber on forest floors, and incrementally tackle large tracts of land with multiple small-scale burns. Such an approach is more labor intensive and takes longer. But the lower intensity and slow progress of the fire gives animals chance to escape and protects the forest canopy.https://amp-insurancejournal-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/amp.insurancejournal.com/news/international/2019/12/17/551546.htm
RUMI SPICE - Co-founded by Kimberly Jung a miltary
veteran who along with her co-founders came up with the idea for the
company while serving in Afganistan. “Rumi Spice was born out of
its founders’ desire to cultivate peace in Afghanistan by creating
demand for the country’s agricultural products. The company started by
exporting and selling high-quality, sustainably sourced saffron to the
US market in order to connect Afghan farmers with the global market and
unlock economic potential for them.” Rumi Spice brand produces
flavorful spices to consumers. Today, the company sells ten different
spices and spice blends to add flavor to the dishes of both home and
professional chefs. The company reported to have raised $2.5MM+ from
