Trees for the Future has worked in Senegal since 2003. Our local training staff are dedicated to transforming land and livelihoods of rural farming communities in what is known as the Peanut Basin. The majority of Senegalese families are in rural farming communities and living on less than $1 a day. The semi-arid nation is particularly susceptible to changing weather patterns caused by climate change; flooding and droughts are detrimental to rural farming families.
By working with farming villages along main trade corridors, we’re effectively rebuilding the approach of thousands of farmers. With the Forest Garden Approach, Senegalese farmers aren’t just planting peanuts anymore, they’re planting thousands of trees and dozens of different fruits, vegetables and grain crops.
