In Ghana, Treedom promotes reforestation in the arid north, a region threatened by desertification. In collaboration with local communities, trees such as mango, cashew, and kapok are planted, improving biodiversity, soil fertility, and water access. The project also provides training for farmers, contributing to environmental sustainability and community well-being.

Curiosity about me
The important moments in your tree's life.
Let's start with introductions
The African locust bean tree has a dense, wide-spreading crown like an umbrella, consisting of massive branches. Height varies from 7 to 20 metres; exceptional specimens may rise as high as 30 metres. The bole is usually straight and cylindrical, often short, but robust and may reach up to 130 cm in diameter.
Meaning
Energising
The pods contain a sweet, yellow, mealy pulp around the seeds. This pulp can be eaten fresh or used to make doughnuts and beverages. It contains up to 29% crude protein and up to 60% saccharose, is rich in vitamin C and high in oil content.
How much CO2 I’ll absorb
My estimated CO2 absorption capacity is based on the first 10 years of my life*
Current absorption
- 30 kg
2024
0 kg
2034
-300 kg
* The tree will continue to absorb CO2 even after the tenth year. Therefore this is a prudent estimate.
How I am useful to local communities
Medicine
Its leaves, roots, bark and/or fruits are used in traditional medicine.
My benefits
80%
Food Security
The trees will bear fruits, some that will be edible immediately and others that can become edible through processing, ensuring food resources over time.
80%
Economic development
The trees' fruits and the products derived from their transformation can be traded in local networks, offering income opportunities.
50%
CO₂ Absorption
During its life cycle, each tree will absorb CO₂. The trees you plant can offset your emissions.
60%
Environmental protection
The trees are planted in agroforestry systems that favor the virtuous interaction between the different species and their positive impact on the environment and on the land.
