The 26A Tree Campaign is 1 month away; 30M+ seedlings are ready for distribution. In @Nyamasheke alone, 57K+ farmers already enrolled to receive 1.4M+ seedlings from #Tubura decentralized nurseries. Together for climate resilience, soil health & productivity. #ClimateAction
Farmers often see trees as competing with crops, but agroforestry boosts harvests by improving soil health and preventing erosion. 🌾
Fruit trees like macadamia, citrus, and avocado offer extra income too.🍊

Growing prosperity—one tree at a time! 🌱✨
Since 2019, farmers in Rwanda and Kenya have planted 170 million trees with support from the IKEA Foundation. Our goal? 1 billion trees across sub-Saharan Africa in the next decade.💚
Siwema from Nambala village planted 500 coffee, 42 banana and 24 macadamia trees with One Acre Fund in 2022.
By using regenerative methods, she’s already earning income from her coffee & banana harvests — and she’s just getting started. 🙌

Mulching helps smallholder farmers protect what matters most: their soil. 🌾
By covering it with leaves, grass, or crop residues, they boost soil health, retain moisture, prevent erosion and support earthworms.
A simple, regenerative step toward resilience. 🌱💪
