Smallholder Farmers Alliance
HAITI
The Smallholder Farmers Alliance (SFA) works to rehabilitate the environment and support struggling farmers in Haiti. The SFA uses a “tree currency” to reward farmers for planting trees. Farmers can then exchange these credits for seeds, tools and agricultural training.
- Since 2010, we’ve planted close to 8 million trees in Haiti, including over 454K in the first few months of 2020 alone.
- SFA Farmers in Leger, Haiti have grown 6,700 trees which earned them enough credits to exchange for over 400 tools.
- SFA farmer, Aniel Joazil in Mendor, Haiti used his tree credits to purchase and plant seeds. Trees help bolster the health of his bean fields and in turn produce a higher yields. He gives part of his harvest back to the local SFA seed bank, saves some for his family, and sells the rest.
Trees for the Future
KENYA
Founded in 1989, Trees for the Future works to improve the livelihoods of impoverished farmers by revitalizing degraded lands. To do so, they provide farmers with tree seeds, technical training, and on-site planning assistance.
