The Green Tree Foundation (GTF) was founded by Gangi Setty, a visionary dedicated to fostering a sustainable future for our planet. Inspired by his dream of creating a Greener Tomorrow, Gangi Setty embarked on a transformative journey aimed at empowering local farming communities and restoring the environment through innovative practices. Located in Talupula Village, Sri Satya Sai District of Andhra Pradesh, GTF operates in a region rich in biodiversity yet challenged by climate change and unsustainable agricultural practices. Recognizing the urgent need for action, Gangi Setty initiated GTF as a beacon of hope, dedicated to uplifting communities and preserving our natural heritage.

Central to GTF’s mission is our collaboration with farming communities, which is vital for achieving sustainable development. We believe that local farmers should not merely be recipients of our initiatives but active beneficiaries and contributors to environmental sustainability. By engaging directly with these communities, we empower them to adopt sustainable agricultural practices that enhance their livelihoods while protecting the environment. This participatory approach fosters a sense of ownership, responsibility, and pride among farmers, allowing them to play a crucial role in preserving their land and biodiversity for future generations.

Our initiatives are specifically designed to create tangible benefits for farming communities while simultaneously making a significant impact on the environment. We focus on several key areas, including agroforestry practices, which integrate trees with crops and livestock to create resilient agricultural systems. These practices improve soil health, increase crop yields, and provide economic diversification for farmers. Additionally, we organize community-led tree planting campaigns that restore degraded lands, enhance biodiversity, and sequester carbon. By involving farmers in these initiatives, we ensure they gain valuable skills and knowledge, making them active participants in climate action and environmental stewardship.

GTF’s commitment to education and resource sharing further enhances our impact. We conduct workshops and training sessions to inform farmers about sustainable practices and the vital role they play in conserving the environment. By providing access to tools, resources, and ongoing support, we empower farmers to implement effective sustainable methods. The positive contributions of these collaborations are evident through restored landscapes, improved biodiversity, and empowered farmers committed to building a Greener Tomorrow. Together, we are addressing the challenges posed by climate change and creating a legacy of environmental stewardship and sustainable living for generations to come.
