From a plan to living soil
What is planned in Arua?
Trees, crops and living hedges are planned as one system. The demonstration farm aims to show how agroforestry can improve water infiltration and soil cover, contribute to climate protection, and support diverse, resilient food production.

The plan includes a 3,600 m² regeneration area, existing trees, paths, mulch areas and spaces for field crops and herbs.

The system behind the trees
Four connected goals
The farm is planned as a practical learning site. Its results will depend on local conditions, careful management and time.
Water
Keep soil covered and help rain soak in and remain available in the landscape.
Climate & soil
Build healthy soil, limit erosion and grow trees that store carbon as they grow.
Food resilience
Combine different crops and tree products to broaden food sources and reduce reliance on a single harvest.
Productivity
Test locally suitable combinations that can support more stable, productive farming over time.
These are project goals and agroforestry learning questions—not measured results or guarantees of a specific environmental or yield impact.

A personal thank-you
Your sponsorship certificate.
The certificate records your name, the number of sponsored trees and your contribution. It is issued by the association after receipt of the donation, not automatically by the website.
The certificate is not a tax donation receipt or proof that a particular tree has already been planted. It does not grant ownership of trees or land.
Trees and education belong together.
The demonstration farm is planned as a practical learning space. It is financed and accounted for separately from the school of sustainable smallholder farming in Arua. Your tree sponsorship supports the demonstration farm.
