Sahayadri Van – Satara, Maharashtra: Transforming Landscapes Through Agroforestry

Discover Sahayadri Van, a transformative agroforestry initiative by Grow Billion Trees in Girvi Village, Satara, Maharashtra. This project restores degraded land by integrating native and fruit-bearing trees with traditional farming practices. By planting along bunds and field peripheries, it enhances biodiversity, improves soil health, conserves water, and supports groundwater recharge. Farmers benefit from diversified income through fruits, timber, and improved crop yields. This initiative empowers local communities, promotes sustainable land use, and creates a scalable model for rural development while combating climate change through carbon sequestration.
