They help by planting specific types of fast-growing, fruit and hardwood trees along with food crops in a proven and systematic way over a four year period. This creates Forest Gardens that consist of thousands of trees that provide families with sustainable food sources, livestock feed, crops to sell, fuel wood and a 400% increase in their annual income in four years.
