Gemeinsam mit dir pflanzen wir Bäume

Yogistar has been donating to Trees for the Future since 2020 and since then over 300,000 trees have been planted in Africa.

Through these plantings, which are carried out as a forest gardening programme (a kind of permaculture), we help to strengthen nature by replanting stunted areas and have a positive impact on social conditions in poor regions in Africa.

Environmental protection

Trees are important to both humans and the environment in many ways: they provide a habitat for biodiversity; they produce much of the planet's oxygen and they help combat climate change.

"The farmers have the power, our cooperation partners have the expertise and we are the key!"

The trees we sponsor are planted by farming families in various regions of Africa under the expert guidance of Trees for the Future experts in the spirit of sustainable forest gardening , a form of cultivation based on forest ecosystems. The farmers involved in the Forest Garden programme learn to grow a variety of fast-growing trees, fruit trees, hardwoods and vegetables. The fast-growing trees are used to secure and stabilise degraded land. Farmers are supported in diversifying their fields with fruit trees and hardwoods. Between the trees, they harvest vegetables and crops.

Social support

The economic benefits of the Forest Gardening approach go beyond creating wealth for a family. The impact has a far-reaching effect on a person's life (e.g. reduced costs for food, manure, firewood, animal feed, fertiliser and sawn timber). In addition, farmers are incentivised to stay on their farm and are less likely to migrate to urban slums or abroad to earn more money. In addition, a family's healthcare costs are reduced as they are better able to feed themselves and meet their family's nutritional needs. Better financial performance and resilience also increase a family's ability to invest in their children's education.
