Trees for the Future September E-Newsletter

Jon,


Our Strategic Growth Plan is here and we are on our way to planting 500 million trees by 2025. Your October Newsletter breaks it all down.

Strategic Growth Plan

Trees for the Future will break the cycle of poverty and hunger for 1 million people by planting 500 million trees in 125,000 Forest Gardens by 2025. To that end, TREES will execute on three programmatic pathways:
EXPANSION of our Forest Gardens throughout Africa.
COLLABORATION with partner organizations who will accelerate the adoption of Forest Gardens throughout smallholder farming communities where they work.
REPLICATION of Forest Gardens through the hard work of individuals who become agroforestry experts through our Forest Garden Training Center.
Strategic Growth Plan

Expanding to Grow More Forest Gardens

Our Expansion plans focus along major trade corridors in the East and West African countries where we are already working.
By building out from communities familiar with and trusting of our approach. TREES will be able to reach more smallholder farmers with our triple bottom line impacts: 
  1. eliminating hunger and enhance their dietary diversity by growing the nutrients needed for healthy livelihoods
  2. improving the environment, including mitigation of, and adaptation to, climate change
  3. ensuring a living wage and increased profits for farmers by planting thousands of trees per hectare

Collaboration in Action

Recognizing that the Forest Garden has multiple applications, we have identified four collaboration opportunities: nutrition, water, crop resilience, and land sustainability, and ecological preservation. One of our collaborating partners, the Kenyan Scouts Association is working diligently toward ecological preservation.
Through our partnership with the Kenyan Scouts Association, we are planting 1 million trees in Homa Bay County, Kenya in 2019 and 2020. The success of this project will allow us to plant another 1 million trees in each of the remaining 46 counties in Kenya. In collaboration with KSA, tree nurseries are developed at schools by young scouts while the outplanting and ongoing care for the trees are being provided for by Scouts, Rovers, and Master Scouts.

Replication Replication Replication

The Forest Garden Training Center (FGTC) is a world-class distance training platform that certifies trainers around the world in the FGA. Through partnerships with organizations that will collaborate with TREES and replicate the FGA, we will continue to scale the FGA into additional countries.
Our FGTC website and app endorsed by the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR), will allow Forest Garden training and adoption worldwide. Through the FGTC, individuals can become agroforestry experts who can grow Forest Gardens on their land, positively contributing to sustainable agriculture and environmental sustainability on Earth.
