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 Silverberry is an elegant shrub with slender branches and grey-green leaves that shimmer silver in the sun. In spring, it’s covered with small fragrant flowers that attract bees and pollinators, while in summer it produces edible, olive-like fruits. It’s a hardy and resilient plant: it thrives in poor soils, tolerates drought, cold, and salty air. Thanks to its ability to enrich the soil with nitrogen, it’s perfect for regenerating degraded areas and supporting biodiversity. A discreet yet precious tree that blends beauty and usefulness.
Meaning
Breath
The Olive tree (Russian olive) regenerates in silence, adapts, purifies, and supports biodiversity… all without making noise, like a deep breath from the earth. Its silvery leaves seem to sway in the wind with the rhythm of breathing, and its ability to enrich the soil and attract life makes it a presence that nourishes and oxygenates in every sense.
How much CO2 I’ll absorb
My estimated CO2 absorption capacity is based on the first 10 years of my life*
Current absorption
- 0 kg
2025
0 kg
2035
-0 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
Soil
It improves the quality of the soil thanks to the nitrogen fixation process or it reduces soil erosion, thanks to its extended root system.
Biodiversity
It helps restocking various animal species, thus helping the variety of fauna and flora overall.
Fence
It provides protection for crops and shade for livestock.
My benefits
20%
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.
20%
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.
80%
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.
