Sustainability
What we will and will not claim.
Adopting a tree is not a carbon offset, and we do not sell it as one. What it does is narrower and more verifiable.
The claim
Four things adoption genuinely changes.
Income before harvest
Adoption money reaches the farmer at the start of the season, when inputs are bought and labour is hired — not months later at the mandi gate.
A reason to keep the tree
A tree under adoption is worth more standing than felled. Long-lived fruit trees stay in the ground because they earn every season.
Shorter routes to the plate
Fruit moves from the tree to the person who adopted it, without passing through several intermediaries and their storage.
Documented, not asserted
Every care action and harvest weight is recorded against a specific tree. You can check the record instead of trusting a badge.
What we do not claim
No offset arithmetic.
We do not issue carbon credits, and we will not tell you that one adopted mango tree neutralises a flight. Sequestration in a working orchard depends on species, age, soil and management, and honest figures for a single tree carry wide error bars.
We would rather report what we can actually measure: the tree, its farmer, its care record, and the kilos it produced. When we publish environmental figures, they will come with their method attached.
Somewhere, a tree is about to have your name on it.
Find one near you, name it, and follow it through to the harvest.
