mate change in mind, Naturefund buys forests and replenishes them. Currently Naturefund is planting trees in the Tunari National Park in Bolivia and in three regions in Madagascar. At the same time more than 100,000 trees were planted in Europe. Through the buying of land as well as the close co-operation with local partners we are able to ensure that nature can develop undisturbed for the foreseeable future. Since 2011 Naturefund implements the agricultural method Dynamic Agroforestry (DAF) in various projects in Latin America and Africa. DAF copies natural processes and creates a forest like systems with high biomass production which supply as side-effect a large variety of products for humans. Together with the center for investigation of Andean Agroforestry Naturefund develops this promising method and organises workshops. (next in Germany from 30th of April to 5th of May 2018). In our opinion Dynamic Agroforestry is one of the most sustainable agricultural technique to to date.
