We train farmers in agroforestry to build vibrant regional economies, thriving food systems, and a healthier planet.
About us
Around the world, modern and industrialized farming practices are destroying the environment—and, at the same time, failing to provide reliable income and nourishment for the farmers we all depend on to survive. At TREES, we recognize that unsustainable land use is the root cause of our most pressing challenges. We confront these challenges by serving the people at the heart of our global food systems: farmers and their families. As a global leader in agroforestry training for over 30 years, TREES provides hands-on, immersive education, skill building, and support, encouraging farmers to work with nature, not against it. Our signature methodology, the Forest Garden Approach, helps farmers transform their land with thousands of fast-growing, ecologically appropriate trees and dozens of other crops, creating new possibilities for themselves and their communities. By embracing sustainable land practices, farmers are reclaiming their agency, breaking the cycles of climate change and generational poverty, and rebuilding our food systems from the ground up.

Through our partnership with Trees for the Future, we’ve contributed to planting 83,514 trees, underlining our commitment to regenerative agriculture and environmental stewardship. As we look forward to the rest of 2024, OLIPOP remains dedicated to pushing the boundaries of what it means to be a sustainable brand in the beverage industry.

Putting a seedling in the ground isn't enough. We must work with local communities to ensure trees are protected and integrated into systems that benefit both parties. With a sustainable system, the impact is not only guaranteed but bountiful 🌳 #climateaction #generationrestoration
