- Increased crop yields
- Enhanced food security
- Climate resilience
Sustainable Growth
- Long-term productivity
- Reduced external inputs
- Knowledge transfer
- Scalable solutions
Agroforestry Systems We Implement
We implement various agroforestry systems tailored to local conditions and farmer needs, each designed to maximize environmental and economic benefits.
Multi-layer Cropping
Cultivating fruit, timber, and native trees in layered formations to optimize land use, restore ecosystems, and diversify farm output.
- Increased yield per unit area
- Enhanced biodiversity and pest control
- Improved microclimates and moisture retention
- Diversified and resilient income sources
Regenerative Agriculture
Using composting, natural inputs, and water-efficient practices to restore degraded soils and promote sustainable farming.
- Restored soil health and fertility
- Reduced chemical dependency
- Improved groundwater recharge
- Increased climate resilience
Farmer Transition Journey
A support model that guides farmers through sustainable practices with training, inputs, and continuous monitoring for long-term success.
- Structured 2-year support with inputs and training
- 150% increase in annual income
- Reduced migration through improved livelihoods
- Monitored reduction in chemical usage

Success Stories
Real stories of transformation from farmers who have adopted our agroforestry practices.
Agroforestry Transformation in Kappatralla, Kurnool
In Kappatralla, Kurnool district (Andhra Pradesh), Chintamanu Mallikarjuna is turning his 2.5-acre land into a green, thriving ecosystem with the support of SayTrees.
Since July 2022, 380 saplings have been planted — a thoughtful mix of fruit-bearing and native trees like sweet lime, red sandalwood, custard apple, coconut, fig, and guava.
Through agroforestry, SayTrees is helping farmers like Mallikarjuna create sustainable livelihoods, improve soil health, and contribute to a greener future — one tree at a time.
Empowering Tribal Communities in Maharashtra
Our agroforestry initiatives with tribal communities in Palghar district have created sustainable livelihoods while preserving traditional knowledge. By integrating fruit trees with traditional crops, these communities have enhanced their food security and income stability.
The project has especially benefited women farmers, who now lead many of the agroforestry activities. With training in nursery management, grafting techniques, and marketing, these women have become champions of sustainable agriculture in their communities.
Across Maharashtra's farming regions—including Satara, Amravati, Beed, Buldhana, Sambhajinagar, and Palghar—this transformation is gaining momentum. From 2022 to 2024, over 3,200 farmers have joined hands to plant more than 380,000 saplings through SayTrees' one-day agroforestry program:
- 2022: 163 farmers planted 14,940 saplings
- 2023: 899 farmers planted 73,458 saplings
- 2024: 2,200+ farmers planted 291,549+ saplings
This growing movement blends sustainability with profitability—empowering farmers to build climate-resilient, self-sustaining agricultural ecosystems, one sapling at a time.
