Think cities can't breathe?

Urban forestry is our unsung hero, turning grey to green, slashing stress, cleaning air and water AND fighting off urban heat like an eco-shield.

Let's champion our leafy warriors and transform our concrete jungles

Agroforestry is a practice that involves the combination of trees or shrubs with crop or livestock production. 🌳

But did you know that agroforestry can take many forms? This infographic from FarmFolk CityFolk lays out six types of #agroforestry. 👇 @ffcf

This year’s #WorldEnvironmentDay focuses on land restoration, desertification, and drought resilience under the theme “Our land. Our future. We are Generation Restoration.” 🌍 While we can't turn back time, we can grow forests, revive water sources and restore soils.

Our food is a reflection of the soil and water used to grow it.

This means that healthy soil = healthy, safe & nutritious food.

It also means that if soil is not healthy, its ability to store and filter water is reduced.

#Soil and water are interconnected!
