Planted trees
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.

Curiosity about me
The important moments in your tree's life.
Let's start with introductions
The banana is a giant herbaceous plant of the Musaceae family that can grow up to 6-7 meters tall. Originally from Asia, it’s primarily cultivated in Central America, tropical Africa, and the Philippines. It bears fruit only in tropical climates and requires protection from the wind. Planted for alimentary use and for the commerce of its fruit.
Meaning
Fantasies
Considered a paradisiacal muse by the ancients, the banana has always been the most naughty of inspirations.
How much CO2 I’ll absorb
My estimated CO2 absorption capacity is based on the first 10 years of my life*
Current absorption
- 10 kg
2022
0 kg
2032
-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
Consumption and sales
Its fruits, seeds and/or leaves are used as food in the farmers' families or are sold on local markets.
My benefits
100%
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.
10%
CO₂ Absorption
During its life cycle, each tree will absorb CO₂. The trees you plant can offset your emissions.
10%
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.
