The environmental dimension is a strong commitment for the Emile Group. That’s why we’ve made a donation to APAF, L’Association pour la Promotion des Arbres Fertilitaires de l’Agroforesterie et la Foresterie.
This non-profit association was created in France in August 2008.
APAF’s aim is to encourage African farmers to use fertilizer tree planting techniques in their cultivated fields, so as to find sustainable solutions to the nutritional, environmental and economic problems they encounter on a daily basis.
This consists of introducing fertilizer trees into the fields to grow crops all around them, creating a sustainable crop over time to avoid the use of costly fertilizers and chemical pesticides, while promoting reforestation.
This approach is accompanied by training in agroforestry techniques.
This year, thanks to the donation generated by Groupe Emile, 5,000 fertility trees were planted and maintained.
