TIANZI BIODIVERSITY PRODUCTS STORE

At TianZi we take special care to produce food, crops, herbs, and ornamental plants in pesticide-free landscapes, far from the pollution of industry and cities. We work in remote areas and with local ethnic communities who benefit from our involvement through fair share arrangements.

Our goal is to combine biodiversity protection with production and improved livelihood of marginal farm households. This includes the utilization of rare agro-biodiversity species and endangered wild plants. Hence, you will find here also new and rare products, which are not commonly known to the conventional trade.

In addition to following guidelines for organic production, we define our own standard: most of our products contribute to the protection of endangered natural and agricultural species and varieties. These products are marked with our TianZi Biodiversity Product seal:

Your purchase contributes to biodiversity protection and increased income for ethnic communities in the Mekong region.

You can change the quantity of items upon check out. Shipments are sent world wide trough express parcel service.
