Smallholder Farmers Alliance: Haiti Agroforestry

SFA runs a 'tree currency' model across ten branch locations in Haiti: farmers grow, transplant and tend trees, and in exchange earn access to seed, tools, training and microcredit.

Overview

Inside the project

As of 2025 the organisation counts 10,394 members, and Ecosystem Marketplace's independent reporting credits the programme with planting nearly six million trees since it began in 2010.

It is framed around household resilience and hurricane vulnerability reduction rather than around carbon-credit issuance.
