We train farmers in agroforestry to build vibrant regional economies, thriving food systems, and a healthier planet.
Über uns
Around the world, modern and industrialized farming practices are destroying the environment—and, at the same time, failing to provide reliable income and nourishment for the farmers we all depend on to survive. At TREES, we recognize that unsustainable land use is the root cause of our most pressing challenges. We confront these challenges by serving the people at the heart of our global food systems: farmers and their families. As a global leader in agroforestry training for over 30 years, TREES provides hands-on, immersive education, skill building, and support, encouraging farmers to work with nature, not against it. Our signature methodology, the Forest Garden Approach, helps farmers transform their land with thousands of fast-growing, ecologically appropriate trees and dozens of other crops, creating new possibilities for themselves and their communities. By embracing sustainable land practices, farmers are reclaiming their agency, breaking the cycles of climate change and generational poverty, and rebuilding our food systems from the ground up.

Regenerative Agriculture Transforms Regenerative agriculture is more than a trend—it’s a crucial shift in how we approach farming and sustainability. By focusing on soil health, biodiversity, and resilient ecosystems, farmers around the world are transforming their lands and livelihoods. This approach doesn’t just sustain; it regenerates. It restores depleted soils, revitalizes communities, and redefines our relationship with the earth. The result? A future where agriculture not only feeds us but also heals our planet and provides incredible potential for communities working to make the change. Let's continue championing healthy, lasting approaches for all. #RegenerativeAgriculture #Sustainability #ClimateAction #FutureOfFarming #AgTech #SoilHealth
