"Trees for the Future in India is working with farming communities, schools, and women’s groups through a network of local organizations to address the water crisis that is punishing the region’s agricultural production and the health of the people. There is interest in planting a variety of fruit trees, timber and non-timber species suitable for the degraded red soil - with the emphasis being placed on planting fast-growing, multipurpose species that are supplying a wide array of products while serving as barriers to minimize further erosion.

The majority of all our work over the last two years has been in the region of Tamil Nadu, the southeastern region hit hardest by the devastating 2004 tsunami. We have recently expanded to Andhra Pradesh, a region that is suffering from prolonged droughts, and in 2009 we are starting a new program in the northern state of Uttarakhand, which will be working with villages and local governments to enhance the productivity of common lands.

 
The projects in India were recently visited by Ramsan, who works for one of our main Indian donors, The Himalaya Drug Company. Ramsan’s words about the program do an excellent job of explaining what has been accomplished and what is possible. "The 100,000 plants that have been planted in the past two years include fruit bearing trees, as well as trees with medicinal properties. We can positively speculate and come to the conclusion that in another three years down the line, they will mature, and will be a complete source of income generation, bearing fruit [for people], and fodder for cattle, which will supplement the farmers nominal income. The benefits that will derive from these plantations are expectantly huge. Having interacted with the farmers and the benefiting groups of people through the tree plantation project, [I see that] they are extremely happy about the initiatives and are willing to further bank their trust for more initiatives, expansion, value addition and addition of programs." - from tree for future org.
