Dr. Zorodzai Maroveke -- AKA "Dr. Zoey" -- heads the Zimbabwe Industrial Hemp Trust, which is promoting the uptake of industrial hemp as a climate smart alternative to wood, cotton, and plastic.

Its ecological benefits are clear, and she hopes carbon finance can be used to overcome the financial challenges to scaling up.
