French Guiana boasts over 1,500 tree species and is one of the world’s five High-Biodiversity Wilderness Areas (HBWA). This diversity is under threat from gold mining and increasing urbanization. In addition, there is little know-how today to preserve local tree species. This project involves planting 625 trees to establish a seed orchard with species endemic to this particular territory, which, over time, will help preserve and restore the natural environment currently under threat.

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.

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.

At The Real Food Fight farm everything is organic farm certified (Agriculture Biologique, AB), horses have replaced tractors, and the bread is baked on site using traditional cereals. Let’s help Andy continue transforming his farm into an agroforestry farm.
Michel, a winegrower in the Indre-et-Loire department, is convinced there is a place for trees in agricultural systems. Hence he has starting reintroducing them to his vineyard. Together with his father, now retired, he plans to plant 881 fruit trees, including 477 financed by A Tree for You donors, amidst the vines to protect them from the impacts of climate change, such as excessive heat and late frosts, and so continue producing wine in this emblematic region!

The parcel of the Bâtie houses the planting project of 948 trees for the Grenoble Saint-Ismier Landscape School. It wishes to promote organic farming in the training of young farmers in order to develop their practices towards agro-ecology. It also aims to set up agro-forestry systems.
This pioneering project in France aims to enrich existing biodiversity and ensure a future for a young market gardener. The planting of trees of more than 60 species, from fruit trees to energy wood trees, will also contribute to soil enrichment and erosion control.
Jérémy, an arable and livestock farmer in the Loire-Atlantique region, strongly believes that to reap all the benefits from agricultural systems trees must be restored. Planting 1,000 trees on these plots will protect his crops from the wind, create a microclimate, and enhance the surrounding biodiversity.

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.

Vincent strongly believes in the crucial role of the trees in his agricultural system. He realised the importance of introducing them in order to restore the soil, expand his vegetable and cereal production, diversify and increase his agricultural production. Since planting his first trees in 2018, he wants to continue with an additional 570 new trees to attract an abundance of biodiversity by creating ecological corridors.
