Most of the world’s 500 million small-scale farmers struggle to feed their families using common farming practices that degrade the land.

There is another way that's better for people and the planet.

To date, Sustainable Harvest International has helped:

4,000 low-income farmers
restore 30,000 acres
while planting 5 million trees.

And we're just getting started.
