Through planting trees for agroforestry, mangroves, afforestation and urban forestry, SGI is fulfilling these SDGs
The UN’s Sustainable Development Goals are a global blueprint for healthy and humane futures for the Earth and all its people. At SGI, we’re turning that blueprint into reality through trees. Here’s how our work aligns with 8 of the 17 SDG goals.
- Fruit trees provide an alternate source of income for farmers
- Farmer’s income expands exponentially on maturity of fruit trees
- Community employment increases engagement and livelihood opportunities
- Agroforestry fosters livelihood options harmonious to humankind and nature
- Fruit trees are an excellent source of nutrition
- More employment of locals means growth in livelihood, reducing hunger
- Noticeable reduction of malnutrition among women and children
- 1000+ farmers educated on use of non-chemical fertilizer and pesticides
- Interacted with 800+ children to educate them on climate change
- Native fruit species meet dietary requirements, especially for women and children
- Women and children educated about importance of planting for future generations
- Equal jobs and opportunities handed to women
- Many women play the role of ‘Vrikshsevika’ under our Planting for Change program
- Over 50% of our workforce at mangrove sites are women-led
- Increased green cover results in more rainfall and recharging groundwater
- Rainwater harvesting implemented at our sites
- Water management solutions implemented at most sites
- Enabling marginal farmers to grow and sell their produce
- Addresses forced migration issues
- More than 50% of people employed are women
- Vegetable seeds and oil seeds provided to farmers, catalysing economic growth
- Mangroves absorb 25% more carbon due to ecosystem they create
- Mangroves sequester four times more carbon than most rainforests
- Thriving mangrove ecosystems restore biodiversity and deliver climate justice
- Reversal of deforestation damage in Assam, increase in wildlife flora and fauna
- Sustainable land practices reduce carbon emissions
- Increased green cover creates new ecosystems, supports biodiversity, reduces soil erosion
- Restoration of biodiversity in Assam with thriving flora and fauna
- Healthier farming practices recharge groundwater, sequester carbon, increase immunity against crop diseases
- Native tree species planted to ensure long-term forest health and resilience
