Italy is commonly described as a peninsula stretching in the Mediterranean Sea. Actually, in addition to the peninsula area, Italy includes a continental area as well as several islands: although it is a small country, Italy has an extremely varied landscape. The territory is mainly hilly, with mountains occupying more than 35% of the territory. Treedom works with various partners encouraging organic farming. The results of this projects include the creation of a sustainable production and trading chain that has a positive impact on society and on those same seized assets, which have become free croplands and are used to create high quality products using eco-friendly methods.

Curiosity about me
The important moments in your tree's life.
Let's start with introductions
The hazelnut is a small tree that is widespread throughout Europe and Asia and can grow up to 4-5 metres in height. Typically cultivated for its fruit, it has been well known since ancient times. The fruits have a woody shell ('pericarp') containing a creamy-white 'almond' (seed). As well as by humans, they are also highly appreciated by wild animals, feeding mice, dormice, squirrels, pigeons, jays and pheasants during the winter.
Meaning
Power
Nuts are great energy providers, especially for athletes. They regulate blood lipids and thus strengthen the heart and circulation.
How much CO2 I’ll absorb
My estimated CO2 absorption capacity is based on the first 10 years of my life*
Current absorption
- 20 kg
2021
0 kg
2031
-50 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

100%
Economic development
The trees' fruits and the products derived from their transformation can be traded in local networks, offering income opportunities.
20%
CO₂ Absorption
During its life cycle, each tree will absorb CO₂. The trees you plant can offset your emissions.
30%
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.
