Designing regenerative, disaster-resilient landscapes rooted in indigenous plant economies.
Terra Vita Global supports communities and farmers to build resilient livelihoods through indigenous crops, organic practices and climate-smart land stewardship – starting with our pilot site in Bathurst, Eastern Cape.
About Terra Vita Global
Terra Vita Global is an impact-driven initiative working at the intersection of regenerative agriculture, indigenous plant economies and disaster risk reduction. We co-create projects with local partners to restore landscapes, generate fair livelihoods and strengthen community resilience.
Our work is grounded in organic and agroecological standards, and guided by collaborative partnerships with farmers, healers, artists and practitioners who are rooted in place.

Bathurst Pilot · Indigenous Plant Economies
A living laboratory for regenerative farming, climate adaptation and community-led enterprise in the Eastern Cape.
Regenerative Farm & B&B
Terra Vita Eco Farm & B&B in Bathurst will host small-scale regenerative plots, a herbal garden and low-impact guest rondavels powered by solar. The site is designed as both a learning ground and a welcoming space for guests, partners and residents.
Indigenous & Medicinal Crops
The pilot focuses on indigenous and climate-resilient crops and plant products, working towards organic certification and transparent, ethical value chains that benefit local communities first.
Field Training & Applied Learning
Through field training, one-pagers and cultivation guides, we support local teams and partners with practical, accessible knowledge that can be applied directly in the field.
Artist Residency at the Bathurst Pilot
The Bathurst pilot will also host several Artist Residency programmes. These residencies invite artists, storytellers, sound designers, photographers and interdisciplinary practitioners to work alongside farmers and field teams.
The goal is to document lived experience, translate ecological processes into accessible narratives, and co-create work that supports advocacy, education and healing.
Focus of the Residency
- Regenerative and indigenous plant stories
- Disaster resilience and community care
- Land-based healing and somatic practices
- Collaborations with local partners in Bathurst
Residency details, application windows and partner calls will be announced as the Bathurst pilot moves into its operational phase.
