By growing their own seedlings, planting and nurturing them to maturity, Haitian families can sustain their rural heritage.

Deforestation and poverty are devastating global problems. Desperate to feed their families, poor farmers in many parts of the world are driven to cut down trees for immediate survival despite the horrible disasters that result:

• farms become wasteland;
• springs dry up;
• flooding and landslides ensue; and
• the land is utterly depleted for future generations.

In Haiti especially, millions of trees of all kinds are urgently needed since only one percent of the land cover of trees and shrubs remains today. FLORESTA, an environmental agency for the poor, has been planting trees on the island of Hispaniola for over twenty years. Its program of agricultural education teaches farmers how to restore their land while building sustainable economies.

Sustainable agriculture, and specifically agroforestry, becomes a life-saver.
