Let it Count: MP Social Impact Forum 2026 Tree Plantation Initiative

As part of the MP Social Impact Forum 2026, Let it Count has embraced agroforestry as a meaningful way to turn appreciation into lasting environmental impact. As a token of appreciation for the participation and support of its clients, a tree has been planted on their behalf, contributing to increased green cover and a healthier ecosystem. The initiative also supports farmers’ livelihoods through agroforestry by encouraging tree-based farming practices that can create additional income opportunities while improving soil health and long-term farm sustainability. Through this thoughtful initiative, Let it Count aims to connect client participation with environmental responsibility and contribute to a greener, more sustainable future.


Project Planning & Execution

No of Trees: 100 Trees

Plantation Location: Rajpur, Barwani, Madhya Pradesh - 451447

Plantation Date: 9th September 2026

Name of Species: Guava

Species Selection & Its Benefits

The project emphasizes native, farmer-friendly species that promote ecological balance while strengthening sustainable livelihoods. Guava (Psidium guajava) was chosen for its adaptability, steady yields, and strong environmental and economic value.

Guava trees contribute to carbon sequestration, improve soil structure through organic leaf litter, and help reduce surface erosion. Their moderate canopy allows sufficient sunlight for intercrops, while flowering supports pollinators and enhances overall on-farm biodiversity. The species also aids in microclimate regulation by moderating temperatures and improving soil moisture retention, making farms more resilient to climate variability.

From an economic perspective, guava provides reliable, diversified income through fresh fruit and value-added products, supported by consistent market demand. Its relatively early bearing period ensures quicker returns for farmers. By integrating guava trees, the initiative boosts climate resilience, farm productivity, and rural livelihoods, reflecting Let it Count’s commitment to sustainable, nature-based solutions.

Planting Methodology and Its Advantages

Agroforestry: Let it Count’s agroforestry initiative combines tree planting with agricultural landscapes to promote sustainable land use, improve soil health, and enhance biodiversity. It also supports farmers’ livelihoods by creating additional income opportunities through tree-based farming. By integrating trees with agriculture, the initiative encourages long-term environmental sustainability and strengthens the resilience of rural communities.

Advantages of Agroforestry

  • Increased Farmer Incomes: This approach helps increase farmers' income by as much as 3 times. Farmers benefit from diversified income sources, lifting economic resilience.

  • Sustainable Livelihoods: Farmers benefit from diversified income sources through the sale of fruits and other tree-based products, reducing dependence on a single crop.

  • Enhanced Biodiversity: Agroforestry creates a diverse ecosystem by integrating trees with crops, attracting pollinators, birds, and beneficial insects that support natural pest control.

  • Environmental Sustainability: This model reduces carbon emissions and promotes sustainable land management, aligning with SDG 13 (Climate Action) and SDG 15 (Life on Land).

  • Food Security & Nutritional Benefits: Fruit-bearing trees provide a direct source of food, improving local nutrition while supporting long-term agricultural productivity.

  • Carbon Sequestration & Climate Resilience: Trees absorb carbon dioxide, helping mitigate climate change while providing shade and windbreaks that reduce temperature extremes and improve microclimatic conditions.

  • Soil Health and Water Conservation: Tree roots prevent soil erosion, enhance water retention, and improve soil fertility by fixing nitrogen and adding organic matter. Agroforestry systems also support groundwater recharge, reduce runoff, and improve soil moisture retention, making them ideal for drought-prone regions.
