Fairventures Social Forestry

Fairventures Social Forestry is a company dedicated to sustainable forestry and climate protection, with a strong focus on reforestation of degraded areas and the protection of biodiverse forests.

The mission of Fairventures Social Forestry is to make an active contribution to climate protection through large-scale reforestation and the protection of forests that benefit local communities. The company is shaped by pragmatic visionaries, innovators, agroforestry experts, wood engineers, economists, and climate protectors who work together on a sustainable and profitable climate solution[1].

Fairventures Social Forestry focuses on the development of agroforestry plantations, where fast-growing lightwood and regional food crops are planted together. These approaches not only serve climate protection but also create income sources for local smallholders. The company works closely with local communities to regenerate agriculture that has been destroyed by illegal mining activities, monocultures, and deforestation[5].

A central goal of Fairventures Social Forestry is to reforest at least 100,000 hectares of land in the coming years, which is expected to lead to a CO2 reduction of about 300,000 tons of CO2 equivalent per year. The company aims to improve the living conditions of about 50,000 local people while protecting biodiversity[5].

By combining reforestation with sustainable value chains in the wood sector, Fairventures Social Forestry replaces climate-damaging building materials such as concrete, cement, and steel. This approach reduces greenhouse gas emissions and promotes the use of wood in the construction industry, which still contains the stored CO2[4].

The company provides local communities not only with jobs and a regular source of income but also with a share in the profits through long-term profit-sharing agreements. Collaboration with the communities is in line with UN guidelines, including the Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) process[5].

Fairventures Social Forestry employs modern technologies to monitor the development and growth of the planted trees. With the TREEO app, small farmers can regularly scan the planted trees to track their development and locations[4].

The company fosters a community of "Doers" who actively participate in climate protection. Through crowdfunding campaigns and partnerships with various stakeholders from science, business, and the public sector, engagement and support for sustainable forestry are strengthened[1][5].

Fairventures Social Forestry is a shining example of how sustainable forestry, social responsibility, and economic efficiency can be interconnected to create a green and secure future.
