Farming and Climate
Farmers who rely on rainfall are on the front lines of climate change. They must adapt to the changing weather now, and keep their land sustainable for generations to come. One Acre Fund farmers have planted 100 million trees to date, and we aim to see 1 billion trees planted by 2030. Find out more
