The Lisu and Naxi minorities need help to recover their ancestral skills in gathering and preparing medicinal plants. Planting 5,073 fruit and environmental trees, in addition to medicinal plants, will help tackle the high level of soil erosion in the region, enrich biodiversity and provide an additional income for local inhabitants through sales of medicinal plants and fruit harvested. This project builds on a first plantation plan in the village of Liming in 2020.

Marie and Olivier, winegrowers in Bouches-du-Rhône, are convinced trees have a role to play in the farming system. By introducing them, they wish to create a more pleasant and functional working environment, improve water management and prevent the risk of erosion, while protecting the vines from the effects of climate change. Planting 1,246 trees of 28 different species will allow them to tackle these challenges.

Arnaud and Sébastien, two farmers on the island of Martinique, want to plant 6,450 trees of 34 different species on plots of land previously used for intensive banana cultivation, polluted with chlordecone. Planting agroforestry trees will address the territorial issues of soil pollution by chlordecone and food sovereignty in Martinique, which still imports over 80% of its food consumption.

The population around Lake Togo is made up of farmers, fishermen and -women. This area is under strong demographic pressure and facing major ecological and social changes – deterioration of plant life, serious soil erosion and increased poverty among the local population. Planting 100,000 trees in 10 villages and introducing market gardening will preserve biodiversity and improve crop yields, as well as boosting fishing by tackling soil erosion and stabilising the lakeshore.

This new project in Tena seeks to reforest spoiled areas with 11,200 trees. The sustainable agroforestry model being implemented is helping improve the quality of life for Kichwas while protecting the adjacent primary forest. This initiative is a response to the issue of biodiversity loss. It is carrying on from previous projects focused on planting valuable trees in Tena.

This project, located in the Argentan region of Normandy, aims to plant hedgerows with the help of farmers, thus completing the existing hedgerow network, typical of this region. Planting 10,000 trees, of which 15 different species, will allow the development of a rich and diversified fauna as well as a source of shelter and food and will also be an important support for the local flora. This project is a continuation of the projects carried out in 2020 and 2021 in the region.

Affected by chestnut ink disease, this forest in the west of Ile-de-France (Paris region) is rapidly dying out. Here in Montmorency, the forest was classified as being in a health crisis in 2018. When the trees are diseased or dead, we must then resort to sanitation cutting. This project, exclusively reserved for RED by SFR clients, seeks to restore healthy afforestation with more resistant species: the sessile oak, together with a natural increase in birch trees, whitebeam…

In the Haute-Matsiatra region of Madagascar, the Soarano drainage basin is suffering from water shortages at the end of its dry seasons due to severe soil erosion, generating conflict within the Ambalavao community over the use of water for farming and domestic purposes. By planting 25,000 trees, the KOLORANO project aims to disseminate various agroecological practices to boost these these fragile environments and safeguard water and food for the local population.
This project is fully funded by Mécénat Chirurgie Cardiaque.
In the Sidama area in southern Ethiopia, most of the coffee production is provided by small scale farmers weakened by coffee prices’ variations, difficult weather conditions and a high cost of inputs. The plantation of 297,000 remaining trees in coffee plantations, using an agroforestry model, will ensure the long-term sustainability of family farming, reduce soil erosion, optimise land use and increase revenue for more than 5,500 farmers through the plantation of forest and fruit species.
In Kenya, most of the coffee production is provided by small scale farmers weakened by coffee prices’ variations, difficult weather conditions and a high cost of inputs. Thanks to this project, more than 2,750 smallholder farmers will be trained, over 365,750 remaining trees (including coffee trees) will be planted and more than 11,400 beneficiaries will take advantage of its impacts.
Pierre, who grows ancient wheat in Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, is increasingly feeling the impacts of extreme weather events like droughts and storms on his land. To improve the fertility of his soil and boost biodiversity, he wants to reintroduce 1,440 trees of 25 different species on his plots of land.

Loïc and Jean-Philippe, two dairy farmers from Brittany, wish to turn to agroforestry and plant trees in the middle of a plot of grassland grazed by dairy cows. Planting 269 trees on this piece of land will help the farm adapt to climate change, diversify biodiversity, fertilise the soil, and store carbon in the trees and soil.

Guillaume, a farmer in the Vienne, for many years led an experimental station that tested introducing trees into the farming. Today he is keen to plant hedgerows around his agroforestry plot, which produces fodder to feed the flock of a neighbouring shepherd as well as aromatic plants. Planting 605 trees around the plot will enrich biodiversity, improve soil fertility, and serve as an example of a more sustainable agricultural model for other farmers to follow.
