Our 2025 Projects
Your support directly funds transformative projects planned for 2025 that address key environmental challenges:
Exploring Salt Tolerance: We're documenting and sharing online the salt tolerance of our edible plants and how to use low-quality water effectively. This initiative is especially beneficial for Algarve residents who rely on borehole water, which can harm their gardens.
Innovative Water Conservation: We're designing workshops to educate our community on the most effective irrigation and water-saving techniques, empowering individuals to conserve precious resources.
Guides for Resilient Fruit Trees: We're publishing growing guides for Climate Change Food Tree Champions. These guides focus on fruit trees that thrive in Mediterranean climates, standing strong against drought, waterlogging, and wind.
Join us and help bring these essential 2025 projects to life! Together, we can build a more resilient and sustainable future.
