Forest Garden Program

Forest Garden Program, Senegal

Our project aims to create sustainable forest gardens by partnering with local farmers. In a region needing rejuvenation, we train 500 farmers in sustainable land management, develop tree nurseries, and plant 2,000 trees per farmer, for a total of 1,000,000 trees. This initiative not only restores the land but also ensures food security and generates income for the farmers. The project has been recognized with the World Restoration Flagship Award

Trees, especially fruit trees, play a crucial role in enriching the soil and supporting nearby crops. Their fallen leaves decompose, returning essential nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium to the soil, boosting its fertility.

Fruit trees also help maintain moisture

It all begins and ends with the soil.

Soil is the foundation for growing our trees and food. By integrating regenerative agriculture and agroforestry into farming practices, we reduce deforestation, allow tree roots to take hold, and enrich the soil with nutrients, making it healthier
