Agroforestry
At GREEN LEAF TRUST, we are championing Agroforestry—a sustainable land-use system that combines trees with crops and livestock. This approach not only restores the environment but also supports the livelihoods of farmers and boosts climate resilience.
What is Agroforestry?
Agroforestry integrates trees into agricultural systems, creating diverse, productive landscapes that are more sustainable and resilient to climate change. It includes practices like planting trees alongside crops, creating windbreaks, and managing forests for sustainable harvests.
Why Agroforestry Matters
Climate Action: Trees absorb carbon dioxide, helping to mitigate climate change.
Biodiversity: Agroforestry enhances biodiversity by providing habitats for wildlife.
Soil Health: Tree roots prevent erosion and improve soil fertility.
Water Management: Trees help retain water, preventing floods and droughts.
Economic Stability: Diversified crops and tree products offer farmers new income streams.
Our Approach
We work directly with farmers and communities to implement agroforestry practices that improve the health of both the land and local economies. Through training programs, technical support, and sustainable solutions, we help farmers transition to more sustainable land practices.
Restored Ecosystems: We’ve helped plant thousands of trees, enriching ecosystems and stabilizing soil.
Stronger Communities: Farmers benefit from diversified income, improved yields, and better resilience to climate shocks.
Sustainable Land Use: Our projects are restoring balance to the land, reducing deforestation, and protecting water resources.
