Curiosity about me
The important moments in your tree's life.
Let's start with introductions
The jackfruit is a tropical plant of the Moraceae family. A native of the Himalayas, this magnificent tree can grow up to 25 meters tall. It's cultivated for its fruit, which is the largest found in nature, and the pulp can be used for dietary purposes or to cook its seeds.
Meaning
Abundance
Size is important, indeed.
How much CO2 I’ll absorb
My estimated CO2 absorption capacity is based on the first 10 years of my life*
Current absorption
- 60 kg
2021
0 kg
2031
-200 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
Medicine
Its leaves, roots, bark and/or fruits are used in traditional medicine.
Consumption and sales
Its fruits, seeds and/or leaves are used as food in the farmers' families or are sold on local markets.
Soil
It improves the quality of the soil thanks to the nitrogen fixation process or it reduces soil erosion, thanks to its extended root system.
My benefits
90%
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.
70%
Economic development
The trees' fruits and the products derived from their transformation can be traded in local networks, offering income opportunities.
40%
CO₂ Absorption
During its life cycle, each tree will offset CO₂. The trees that you plant can offset your emissions.
50%
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.
