Fruit Growers

Farmers are among our greatest conservation allies. They produce the crops that help to feed, fuel and clothe a growing world, while caring for the lands and waters on which their livelihoods depend. As the global population continues to grow, farmers will be under increasing pressure to produce even more crops without sacrificing the environment. By adopting conservation practices and working WITH nature instead of against it, farmers can build productive, healthy orchards robust crops while protecting water sources, storing carbon, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and creating farms that are more resilient to extreme weather events. It’s a win-win for farmers and nature.
