Forest Gardens - Mount Elgon Region

Forest Gardens - Mount Elgon Region, Uganda

Our project employs a unique agroforestry approach that benefits local farmers and the environment. Monoculture and logging have degraded the land and left farmers reliant on a single source of income. So far, over 700 farmers are using the Forest Garden approach to rebuild food systems, improve livelihoods, and restore the environment. CO2 per species is rounded to 50kg, as this project is twinned with VCS credits.

One little tree can make a huge difference. Every tree we plant with our farmers restores the land, captures CO2 and also provides nutrients for the soil to grow food for each household.
