Trees, crops and livestock on one productive landscape

Agroforestry systems that build long term income while they restore the land.

Overview

YesEarth supports the development of agroforestry systems that integrate trees, crops and livestock into single, long-term productive landscapes, so a farm restores its soil at the same time as it earns.

Why it works

One field, many layers

Agroforestry stacks production vertically, so the same acre yields more and holds together as an ecosystem.

Layer 01

Canopy

Tall native and timber trees, shade, windbreak and the deepest carbon store.

Layer 02

Mid-story

Fruit trees, bamboo and timber substitutes, the layer that diversifies income.

Layer 03

Crops

Grains, spices and understory crops grown between and beneath the trees.

Layer 04

Ground and soil

NTFPs, ground cover and integrated livestock, restoring soil structure and moisture.

What we do

From local seed to carbon credit

01

Local species selection

Fruit trees, bamboo, timber substitutes, spices and NTFPs suited to the region.

02

Community nursery development

Locally run nurseries that supply the planting material.

03

Contour planting and soil conservation

Planting patterns that hold soil, water and slope.

04

Harvesting and post-harvest training

Skills that protect quality and value at harvest.

05

Value addition units

Processing that keeps more value with the grower.
