Farmers united to help feed and reforest Haiti
About
Smallholder Farmers Alliance (SFA) members throughout Haiti grow, transplant and look after trees to earn credits, or ‘tree currency’, which gives them access to crop seed, tools, training, microcredit loans and a range of other agricultural services. The entire agroforestry operation is run on organic principles, while the SFA’s cotton farmers are pioneering a new regenerative methodology.
