Green Disruptors: Scaling the Future

Reforesting Futures: How Forest Gardens Are Restoring Land and Lives


Listen Later

Agroforestry may not be the flashiest climate solution—but it just might be one of the most effective.

In this episode of Green Disruptors, Cate O’Kane of Trees for the Future shares how the organization has spent 35 years transforming degraded land into vibrant Forest Gardens across sub-Saharan Africa.

Cate breaks down how this simple yet powerful model creates cascading benefits—from increased food security and income for farmers, to carbon sequestration, improved soil health, and even gender equity.

We also explore the intersection of nonprofit impact and business strategy, the role of carbon markets, and why smallholder farmers are some of the most important climate heroes of our time.
