Food Security & Nutrition
Environmental degradation has worsened food scarcity in Dambai. By planting fruit trees, we aim to build a reliable food basket for the people.
Our team has reached a significant milestone in our Amazon reforestation initiative, having successfully planted over 1 million trees across deforested areas in Brazil and Peru. This achievement marks a major step forward in our efforts to combat climate change and restore critical ecosystems in the Amazon rainforest.
FOOD SECURITY & NUTRITION
THE IMPORTANCE OF FOOD SECURITY
Environmental degradation has led to scanty food supplies and malnutrition. By planting fruit trees, we provide long-term, renewable food sources that supplement traditional staples like yams and fish.
