TREES THAT FEED

Working with her husband Mike and brother Paul Virtue, Trees That Feed Foundation was established in 2008. Operations commenced in earnest in 2009. Our location in Winnetka, Illinois, now serves as operational headquarters for the Caribbean, Central America and Africa. To date we've provided over 300,000 fruit trees of many types, including breadfruit, to farmers and others in 20 countries... Our mission is planting fruit-bearing trees to feed people, create jobs, and benefit the environment. Trees That Feed Foundation believes that tree crops are a large part of the answer to world food concerns. Tree crops are nutritious, yet require less input of labor, agro-chemicals, fertilizers and space than field crops. Trees also restore ecological balance to land damaged by misuse or neglect, capture and sequester carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and create habitats for small animals and birds. Planting a tree is a winning bet all around … for decades to come!... Trees That Feed..
