Our coffee trees will grow
into a system that benefits the environment and community.
One Tree Grows Into
Livelihood Security
Giving our community adequate access to income and resources that meet basic needs (including adequate access to food, clean drinking water, health facilities, educational opportunities, housing, time for community participation and social integration). Farmers see trees as a safer bet than growing and selling annual crops that can be destroyed by pests, and require huge labour inputs.
Climate Change Mitigation
We are helping to plant 10,000+ trees as part of a coffee based agroforestry program to help mitigate the effects of climate change in the Himalayas. Agroforestry, the simultaneous cultivation of trees and agriculture crops, is proven to be the most effective agriculture practice for keeping carbon in the soil and regenerating land destroyed by decades of harmful farming practices.
Regenerative Reforestation
We are helping to reforest land that was previously deforested for agriculture. Agroforestry has the dual benefit of reforesting the land, while providing access to sustainable livelihoods through long term and secure sources of income. Coffee trees are shade trees, allowing farmers to plant upper canopy trees with the coffee, and reforest open terraces that were previously not used, or were used for annual crops.
AND
When coffee trees mature, and best practices are put into place, coffee can provide for the community of Takure in many different ways, including
Gender Equality
Women's Employment
Rural Village Economic Growth
Reduction in Outsourced Village Labor
Erosion Control
Land Regeneration
Landslide Prevention
Organic Land Practices
Sustainable Livelihoods
Let's get our hands dirty and
plant 10,000 trees together
Join us and create your own fundraiser
Fundraise for an agroforest on community land as a demonstration to other farmers in the community.
Help us fundraise for a community green house to provide seeds and saplings to Takure.
To continue our coffee program next year we will need to plant and care for 10,000 more trees.
Help us buy, plant, and store perennial seeds of improved varieties. These seeds can be used in the villagers multistrata coffee agroforests and for generations to come.
A tree is more than just a tree! Help us in mitigating climate change, reforesting terraces, and providing livelihood security in Takure.
About Our Agriculture Program:
Conscious Impact was founded in 2015 after Nepal was hit with a series of devastating earthquakes. We quickly discovered that rebuilding is more than just homes, and our agriculture program was created to rebuild the natural environment around us. In Takure, 99% of the community participates in agriculture. To connect with the community on a deeper level, we are rebuilding, regrowing, and regenerating through agriculture together. Conscious Impact is fundraising to continue our agriculture program in Takure, Nepal. Next year we will help plant 10,000 trees to support the farmers of Takure. These trees will guarantee that we can expand our program through community agriculture development, local reforestation, and climate change mitigation.
