Green Worldwide Shipping® donated 23,119 trees in the second quarter of 2025 through its Green Trees program with Trees for the Future (TREES). Since the program began in 2019, Green has helped plant 679,865 trees around the world. Each tree represents more than a donation. It is part of a larger effort to restore soil, support farmers, and strengthen food systems in communities that need it most.
WHY ARE FARMERS LEADING ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGE?
For smallholder farmers, the effects of climate change are immediate. Depleted soils, erratic rainfall, and higher temperatures are daily obstacles. Yet those same farmers are driving change. With training and resources, they are turning degraded land back into productive farmland, securing harvests, and building resilience for their families and neighbors.
WHAT IS DIFFERENT ABOUT THE FOREST GARDEN APPROACH?
TREES’ Forest Garden Approach is built on farmer leadership. It combines trees, crops, and regenerative methods that make farms productive again. Unlike short-term fixes, Forest Gardens provide permanent solutions. Recognized by the United Nations as a World Restoration Flagship, the approach shows how local knowledge and sustainable practices can change landscapes for good.
HOW DO TREES IMPROVE FARMLAND AND FOOD SECURITY?
The trees funded through Green’s Q2 donation were selected with care. Nitrogen-fixing species replenish worn-out soils. Deep-rooted trees hold the ground in place and help it hold water. The result is healthier farmland, stronger harvests, and in many cases, higher yields that reduce the risk of hunger.
Supporting farmer-led restoration is one of the most practical ways to address climate change and biodiversity loss. It also creates opportunity in rural regions where agriculture is the main source of income. For Green Worldwide Shipping, the Green Trees program delivers measurable climate benefits while investing in the people who depend on the land and the communities they sustain.
