Our Mission and Vision
Our Mission
At the Green Tree Foundation (GTF), our mission is to create a Greener Tomorrow by promoting agroforestry as a powerful advocacy tool to build enriched, greener farming communities and drive meaningful, inclusive climate action. We envision the establishment of livelywoods—vibrant, diverse tree-based landscapes that act as global cooling vehicles—offering nature-based solutions to the pressing challenges of climate change, land degradation, and rural poverty. By integrating trees with crops and livestock, agroforestry not only enhances productivity but also restores ecological balance, improves soil fertility, conserves water, and sequesters atmospheric carbon. Our work aligns with multiple international Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially those focused on climate resilience, life on land, sustainable agriculture, and community well-being. Through grassroots advocacy, farmer training, knowledge sharing, and capacity building, we empower rural communities to become environmental stewards. We believe in acting locally to benefit globally, transforming vulnerable landscapes into regenerative ecosystems. At GTF, we are committed to creating resilient environments, thriving farms, and a sustainable, climate-secure future for generations to come.
Our Vision
The Green Tree Foundation (GTF) envisions a future where farming communities thrive by embracing nature-based solutions (NBS) to effectively address the climate challenges and risks they face. At the core of this vision is the promotion of agroforestry as a sustainable solution that enhances biodiversity, restores ecosystems, and improves soil health, while offering a resilient and adaptive response to climate change. By integrating trees with crops and livestock, GTF aims to transform farming into a model of environmental stewardship, economic resilience, and sustainable agriculture.
Our mission is to showcase agroforestry as an effective tool for mitigating climate risks, sequestering carbon, and fostering long-term ecological balance. GTF is dedicated to becoming a center of innovation and action, equipping communities with the knowledge, resources, and tools needed to implement agroforestry practices. Through collaboration and advocacy, we empower local communities to drive change, turning them into active participants in global climate action.
We believe that the adoption of agroforestry will lead to thriving communities that not only withstand environmental changes but also contribute to global ecological restoration. GTF envisions a world where local solutions, led by empowered communities, create lasting, sustainable impacts, paving the way for a climate-resilient future for all.
