Landbouw en klimaat
Boeren die afhankelijk zijn van regenval staan in de frontlinie van de klimaatverandering. Ze moeten zich nu aanpassen aan het veranderende weer en hun land voor de komende generaties duurzaam houden. Boeren van One Acre Fund hebben tot nu toe 100 miljoen bomen geplant, en we streven ernaar om in 2030 1 miljard bomen te hebben geplant. Meer te weten komen
