Planting fruit and nut trees is a popular way that local farmers can improve the productivity of their land. Through this project community-based self-help groups, with the help of Tree Nation and Friends of Usambara, we have developed Fruits tree nurseries and train participants to graft their own high-quality fruit trees. These can then be sold for a profit or planted to enhance their own farms. The project is focusing on three crops (mango, avocado and macadamia nut) which have high nutritional value and sell for a good price in local markets. Plant with us on this platform.
