Project scope
- What is the main goal for this project?
-
At TERRAific, we are dedicated to making a positive impact on our planet and fostering resilient communities. Since our inception, we have been actively involved in establishing, designing, and supporting institutions with the common goal of promoting the conservation of the natural environment.
Our mission is to reduce and prevent pollution and waste, preserve ecosystems, and protect biodiversity for generations to come. We are equally passionate about supporting sustainable food production practices, including organic, local, and permaculture methods.
The main goal will be to develop a website for TERRAific that connects users to our services, events and programs. This website would be easy to maintain and be easy to use for end users. Our ultimate aim is to build a more user-friendly and accessible website that can be attractive to not only our community, but our funders as well.
