Green Earth carbon projects
in Cameroon

It is very simple to start. First, you need to speak to your local Green Earth representative. We will ask you about your farm, including how many acres of land you have. Then we will visit your farm to see if your land is suitable for the project. Your land needs to be big enough and not recently cleared.

Yes, we do. We give you crop seedlings and native shade trees for free. We also provide free training and send experts to your farm to help you grow a better harvest. We organise and fund the project, handle the administration, and do the reporting. You own and keep all your harvests from the fruit and nut trees you plant, which you can then sell to earn more income.

If you are part of a project, you are responsible for planting and looking after the trees over the years for a long time. You must plant the seedlings correctly and follow the training programme. You must not cut down the planted trees. You also need to allow our team to visit your farm for guidance, regular checks, and audits. It is a long-term partnership where we both do our part.

Growing trees amongst your crops protects your soil and keeps your farm healthy. For example, if you plant cacao, you might wonder, "Will Green Earth buy my harvest in three years?" We do not buy the crops directly, but we do help you find good buyers. We work hard to make sure you have a safe, reliable market to sell your harvest when it is ready.

Our tree planting projects work by growing trees over many years. Green Earth funds the projects from the very start. As the trees grow and remain standing, they store a gas called carbon (CO₂) from the air. Because they do this, the project can create what is called ‘carbon credits’. These credits can be sold in the future. This is what helps to fund the project and makes our long-term support for your farm possible.

Sometimes you might read the news and see that a project sold things called 'carbon credits' for a lot of money. Then you might wonder, "Where is my share of that cash?"

It is important to know that this money is what pays to keep the whole project running. It pays for your free seedlings, the field staff, the training, and the management. Your true benefit comes from getting all this free support, improving your land, and earning more money yourself from a bigger, better harvest.
