Agroforestry for Sustainable Livelihoods and Climate Action
At YUVA Unstoppable, we are committed to restoring ecosystems, enhancing rural livelihoods, and tackling climate change through large-scale agroforestry initiatives. Our projects focus on integrating trees with agricultural systems, promoting biodiversity, and enabling farmers to participate in carbon markets.
Currently, our agroforestry programs are being implemented in Kaithal district (Haryana), Mirzapur, Sonbhadra, Naugad, and Chandauli (Uttar Pradesh), and Singrauli (Madhya Pradesh). In Haryana, our focus is on carbon projects, while in Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh, we implement a mix of carbon and non-carbon projects, benefiting both farmers and the environment.
Key Project Activities
Farmer Education & Onboarding – We actively engage with farming communities to raise awareness about the benefits of agroforestry. Through training sessions and field demonstrations, we educate farmers on sustainable practices and onboard them into the program.
Plantation Support – We provide farmers with high-quality saplings suited to their land and climatic conditions, ensuring successful plantations that contribute to both livelihoods and environmental sustainability.
Farm Management Support – Our dedicated team of agronomists supports farmers with irrigation solutions, soil health management, and best practices in agroforestry. This helps maximize productivity while ensuring long-term sustainability.
Monitoring & Verification – To ensure the success and impact of our agroforestry projects, we conduct periodic assessments and verifications through both physical inspections and digital monitoring.
Technology-Driven Monitoring & Impact Assessment
Our projects leverage cutting-edge technology to track, assess, and optimize agroforestry interventions:
Digital Monitoring App – This advanced tool tracks plantation progress, tree survival rates, biomass growth, and carbon sequestration.
Physical Inspections – Our on-ground team regularly monitors and nurtures plantations, ensuring healthy tree growth and carbon capture.
Satellite Imaging & AI-Based Insights – We use high-resolution satellite imagery to assess canopy cover, tree density, and detect any deforestation or mortality.
Artificial Tree Counting (ATC) & Ground Truthing – By combining AI-powered tree counting with on-ground verification, we ensure data accuracy and take corrective actions wherever necessary.
Our Impact So Far
3.5 crore trees planted across diverse landscapes.
1.2 lakh acres of land brought under sustainable agroforestry.
9 million tons of CO₂ equivalent projected to be sequestered over the next decade.
50,000+ farmers impacted, securing better livelihoods and environmental resilience.
Building a Greener Tomorrow
At YUVA, our agroforestry program goes beyond tree plantation—it empowers farmers, restores degraded lands, and plays a crucial role in climate change mitigation. By integrating scientific research with traditional farming knowledge, we are shaping a sustainable and prosperous future for both people and the planet.
Join us in our mission to create a resilient, greener world—one tree, one farm, one community at a time.
