UNITED NATIONS SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS
The 2023 Q4 donations to TREES help support the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. TREES’ Forest Garden Approach aligns with nine of these seventeen goals. Moreover, TREES promotes local farming, reducing long-distance shipping while promoting sustainable practices.
