The Vetiver Network International (TVNI) is a global network of users, researchers and developers that promote and share information relating to the Vetiver Grass Technology (VGT) that is used for multipurpose applications (collectively known as the Vetiver System) relating to many different aspects of the management of soil and water at various levels within a river basin and its watersheds. VGT, a "green" "climate smart" technology is: applicable at any scale, low cost, with a relatively easy learning curve. It has particular relevance for communities of all types and sizes, and for the mitigation of some of the negative impacts of climate change. Vetiver grass (Chrysopogon zizanioides) is a non invasive plant with adaption to large range of climates and soils is used for: soil and water conservation, bioengineering (slope stabilization), phytoremediation of contaminated land and water, and many other agricultural/permacultural uses.
