Trees That Feed Foundation

Trees That Feed Foundation TTFF distributes fruit trees in 20+ countries to feed people, create jobs and benefit the environment. We currently receive requests from all over the world.

At Trees That Feed Foundation, we try to alleviate hunger and improve the environment through distributing high-yield fruit trees. The trees we distribute are predominantly of breadfruit varieties, although distributed varieties can also include mango, fig, pomegranate, cashew, etc. A breadfruit tree can produce 200-300 fruits per year and live for five to seven decades. The fruit is rich in vitam

ins and minerals, and is a source of gluten-free carbohydrates and protein. One breadfruit tree can produce enough fruit to feed a family of four for a lifetime. We also partner with Northwestern University to test to develop harvesting equipment that is accessible for farmers to use for breadfruit flour production. The current equipment includes peeler, shredder, dryer and grinder prototypes, which together constitute a "Factory in a Box" that TTFF distributes to farmer communities. Since its inception in 2009, TTFF has planted over 220,000 food-bearing trees, provided 20 kits of fruit processing equipment and cultivated local breadfruit markets to produce and deliver over 20,000 lbs of breadfruit flour. Breadfruit processing equipment kits cost approximately $2,000 USD. To fund a tree, including delivery and education costs, TTFF asks donors for US$15.00. We predominantly focus on the Caribbean, but we are rapidly expanding. Tree distributions have been made throughout Jamaica, Haiti, Barbados, Bahamas, Costa Rica, Liberia, Ghana and Pakistan.

Breadfruit is naturally gluten-free, nutrient-dense, and one of the most sustainable crops on the planet. It's also the heart of Trees That Feed Foundation's mission: planting breadfruit trees to fight hunger and create farmer livelihoods across 22 countries. 🌱

Every baker and chef who cooks with breadfruit, like Chicago's own Mspsgfree Inc helps grow demand that supports that mission back where the trees are planted. 🍞

Follow Ms. P to see her gluten-free, breadfruit-based meals and snacks, and taste the difference for yourself!

🌱 Last weekend, our co-founder Mary L McLaughlin had the pleasure of visiting Evanston Grows, a wonderful community garden and organization working to reduce food insecurity and strengthen communities across the Chicago/Evanston area. 💚

While there, Mary gave a talk on drying excess produce to help cut down on harvest waste, a topic close to our hearts at Trees That Feed Foundation. Teaching dehydration methods is a big part of how we make sure that every crop grown gets used, not wasted. 🍌🥭

It was a wonderful opportunity to connect with a local organization doing meaningful work in food security, and to share some of the tools that help communities get the most out of what they grow. 🙌

Be sure to check out the last photo. Those are the dehydration trays designed by students at Purdue University! It's inspiring to see engineering put to such good use. 👀

A heartfelt thank you to Evanston Grows for having us!
