Our project aims to combat deforestation in the Bolivian Amazon through innovative agroforestry solutions. The region is losing vast forest to agriculture, requiring creative approaches to balance farming and conservation. By planting tree windshields between fields, we create a grid that boosts crop yields on less land, prevents wind erosion, and improves biodiversity, water quality, and social well-being while reducing the carbon footprint.
As you can see in photo, our latest batch of seedlings is getting loaded up and shipped off to their new home. A massive shoutout to the incredible women on our team who are keeping this whole operation rolling—literally, because those fully loaded wheelbarrows certainly don't push

What looks like a simple load of plants in the back of this small truck is actually a high-stakes, meticulously planned logistical operation to safely delivering hundreds of tender seedlings destined to form a critical new windbreaker.

Dropping off our sapling army in their new home. They may look sweet and delicate now, but the nursery life (with its perfect shade and easy watering) is officially over.
Next stop: Tree Hardening Boot Camp. Think 'drop-and-give-me-twenty (new roots)'
Looking at the massive sorghum plantation, its obvious that currently has the wind protection of a paper umbrella in a hurricane.
To optimize the microclimate and drastically reduce crop evapotranspiration, we are deploying a comprehensive shelterbelt matrix by year-end. We will
Classroom Escapees Trade AC for Agroforestry.
In a daring escape from fluorescent lights, university students descended on our planting sites. Trading laptops for boots, they came to study our agroforestry windbreakers—proving real science happens in the dirt.
It’s a win-win: students

The event sparked deep interest among third-year students regarding carbon markets
Rule #1 of agroforestry in Santa Cruz: You must be at least 1.60 meters tall to survive the grass. 🏃♂️🌳
We are skipping the "vulnerable little sprout" phase for these native trees planted inside a Bolivian sugarcane field. Dropping them in at a commanding 1.60 meters is a highly
