00:00In the Netherlands, we are the second largest exporter of agricultural products, but we
00:11are the lowest compared to all the other countries when it comes to biodiversity.
00:1530% of the insects and bees are left compared to 30 years ago, so a lot of insects are threatened
00:23with extinction.
00:24If we can create a business model or really integrate working together with nature within
00:29their daily practice, we can have a huge impact on biodiversity.
00:44With WilderLand, we make herbal tea that helps to restore Dutch biodiversity.
00:51We work together with farmers and ask them to sow more herbs and weeds on their land,
00:57which have a direct positive impact on biodiversity, because bees, butterflies and birds enjoy
01:02all these herbs and flowers.
01:08From part of these herbs, we make herbal tea, which we sell.
01:12We make a local herbal tea product, which has a direct positive impact on biodiversity.
01:18The more people drink our tea, the more farmers we can work with.
01:31We want to extend our product range so that we can integrate more species or plants like
01:40bushes or trees into farms' land and help farmers transition towards a more regenerative
01:47or nature-inclusive way of farming.
01:51With our business model, it's possible to regenerate the earth and nature by the larger
01:56we become.
01:57And that is really something we would like to show to other people and inspire them that
02:02business and nature go hand in hand.
