🌿 Farm Forests for a Sustainable Future

Empowering Farmers Through Strategic Tree Planting Across Kenya

At Hands of Love and Mercy, we work alongside farmers across Kenya to reimagine agriculture through strategic tree planting. By integrating climate-smart trees into farmlands, we improve soil health, increase productivity, and build economic resilience — while restoring ecosystems and enhancing climate action from the ground up.

🌳 Program Highlights

✅ Tailored Tree Integration

Farmers choose and plant tree species that directly support their unique land and livelihood needs:

• Fodder Trees
  (e.g., Calliandra calothyrsus, Senna siamea)
  Boost livestock nutrition — leading to a 25–45% increase in milk and meat yields.

• Nitrogen-Fixing Trees
  (e.g., Triadica sebifera)
  Naturally restore soil nutrients and reduce dependence on chemical fertilizers.

• Soil-Enhancing Trees
  (e.g., Croton macrostachyus, Cordia africana)
  Improve fertility, reduce erosion, and enhance long-term crop health.

• Timber & Utility Trees
  (e.g., Grevillea robusta, Acrocarpus fraxinifolius, Markhamia lutea)
  Provide sustainable resources for construction, fencing, and community use.

🍇 Fruit Tree Cultivation

Farmers also grow high-value fruit trees for fast returns and market-ready income:

• Grafted avocados (early-yielding varieties)

• Tree tomatoes

• Macadamia nuts

• Bananas

• Mangoes

These crops provide nutritional value and economic diversification, particularly for women- and youth-led households.

👨‍🌾 Farmer Training & Support

Through regular training sessions and field visits, we empower farmers with skills in:

• Sustainable land management

• Organic fertilization and composting

• Water conservation

• Post-planting care and market access

🌍 The Impact at a Glance

Our Farm Forest Initiative is:

• Improving soil fertility and restoring degraded farmland

• Increasing yields and household incomes

• Sequestering carbon and reducing climate vulnerability

• Supporting biodiversity and long-term sustainability

💬 Why It Matters

This isn’t just tree planting — it’s a grassroots movement for environmental restoration, economic empowerment, and climate resilience. Each tree planted is a step toward a greener, more secure future for Kenyan farmers and their communities.
