Planting Trees in Developing Countries Helps in Many Ways.

Sustainable Food & Living

Due to the range of trees planted, communities can:

Grow their own staple crops, vegetables fruit
Create low hanging leaves and foraging spaces for animals
Use surplus wood for fuel and construction.

Improved Health

Fruit trees provide foods for families and contribute to enhancing their diet.
Products sold on the market provide income and facilitate access to healthcare.

Repairing Ecosystems

Much of nature has been lost to farming for things such as, livestock, rapseed, tobacco and coal.
Land that has lost trees is more susceptible to flooding, mudslides and landslides.
Planting trees creates and sustains biodiversity.

Facilitates Education

Surplus of food sold drives income and enables communities to provide education for their children
Creating higher-skilled individuals supports long term positive changes.

Creates Income

The food that is not used can be trading for goods.
Creates jobs in communities where there is little opportunity.
