My Timeline

The important moments in your tree's life.

Seed

It all starts with a tiny seed, nice and warm in the soil.

Nursery

Your seedling is big enough to be welcomed into one of our nurseries, along with many others.

Planted

We’re here! Your tree has reached its new home: it’s been planted by a smallholder, who’ll take care of it for years to come.

Curiosity about me

The important moments in your tree's life.

Let's start with introductions

The grapevine is a climbing shrub that is shaped by the farming methods adopted by its growers. There are endless varieties of grapevine, each with characteristic leaves, flowers, and, most importantly, fruit; grapes vary widely in their shapes, colours and flavours. For millennia, the history of the grapevine has been interwoven with humankind’s; it is now grown on every continent (except Antarctica, for obvious climatic reasons) and its fruit is enjoyed both fresh and fermented into a drink we’re all familiar with: wine.

Meaning

Euphoria

Wine is an alcoholic drink produced by fermenting grapes, the fruit of the grapevine. Throughout its long history, wine has taken on many symbolic meanings and profound cultural connotations, but one of the reasons for its success certainly lies in the magical feeling of euphoria it produces when drunk in appropriate (and moderate) amounts.

How much CO2 I’ll absorb

My estimated CO2 absorption capacity is based on the first 10 years of my life*

Current absorption

- 5 kg

2023

0 kg

2033

-50 kg

* The tree will continue to absorb CO2 even after the tenth year. Therefore this is a prudent estimate.

How I am useful to local communities

My benefits

80%

Food Security

The trees will bear fruits, some that will be edible immediately and others that can become edible through processing, ensuring food resources over time.

80%

Economic development

The trees' fruits and the products derived from their transformation can be traded in local networks, offering income opportunities.

10%

CO₂ Absorption

During its life cycle, each tree will offset CO₂. The trees that you plant can offset your emissions.

40%

Environmental protection

The trees are planted in agroforestry systems that favor the virtuous interaction between the different species and their positive impact on the environment and on the land.
