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.
