The Trees of Life of Tunisia
After the series on the Trees of the Sahel, photographer Nicolas Henry went to discover the “Trees of Life” in Tunisia: the cactus and their fruits, the wild and centuries-old olive trees, as well as the carob trees.
This project goes beyond capturing the beauty of these trees. It also aims to showcase Nexira’s commitment, along with its long-time partner “Herbes de Tunisie,” to organic and sustainable agriculture.
This commitment contributes to environmental protection through a natural production method that respects the various principles of organic farming. This cultivation method also helps fight against desertification by limiting erosion and enriching biodiversity.
A story
Nicolas Henry also tells the story of these trees in Tunisia and the communities that depend on them. His work is a tribute to nature and to the efforts of these people to preserve it.
Nicolas Puillet, our Group Purchasing Director for Nutrition, Health & Specialty Ingredients, was on-site with the teams from “Herbes de Tunisie” to support the photographer and his assistant in the harvest areas.
Present in the field until next week, Nicolas Henry is regularly sharing the preparation of the photos in this surprising and magnificent landscape. Nicolas is also happy to count on the spontaneous participation of many Tunisians in the photo preparations.
