Thailand is known as "the land of smiles" and is renowned for the hospitality of its people, the richness of its nature, the beauty of its beaches and islands. Treedom's activity is concentrated in the valleys of the north-western hills where the climate is warm all year round, except during the winter, when it's sunny but cool, especially when large masses of cold air come down from China. The goal of the Treedom project is to contribute to creating an alternative to an agricultural practice, very widespread in the area, called slash-and-burn and to do so by introducing sustainable, biological and permanent agroforestry practices. In addition, planted trees will absorb CO₂, limit soil erosion and provide fruits and income opportunities to the more than 1,000 farmers involved.

The important moments in your tree's life.
It all starts with a tiny seed, nice and warm in the soil.
Your seedling is big enough to be welcomed into one of our nurseries, along with many others.
We’re here! Your tree has reached its new home: it’s been planted by a smallholder, who’ll take care of it for years to come.
Strike a pose! Now that it’s big enough, here’s a photo of your tree!

The important moments in your tree's life.
A Central American species, the guava tree is often cultivated in tropical countries. It produces extremely juicy fruit and beautiful, large, perfumed flowers. Guava fruit is consumed both fresh and in the form of juices, nectars, and preserves. It thus provides great support to the rural economy of Kenya to ensure the dietary security of the local population.
The antioxidant power of guava makes it a bonafide beauty elixir.

* The tree will continue to absorb CO2 even after the tenth year. Therefore this is a prudent estimate.
Raw materials are extracted from its flowers, fruits and/or leaves to produce creams or powders.
Its fruits, seeds and/or leaves are used as food in the farmers' families or are sold on local markets.
The trees will bear fruits, some that will be edible immediately and others that can become edible through processing, ensuring food resources over time.
The trees' fruits and the products derived from their transformation can be traded in local networks, offering income opportunities.
During its life cycle, each tree will absorb CO₂. The trees you plant can offset your emissions.
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.
