Green Planet’s current focus is the support of student organizations and communities interested in creating learning farms. Green Planet aims to offer support through funding, resources and educational materials which educate future farmers about environmentally friendly farming practices such as composting, integrated pest management and proper water and soil management.
Green Planet is currently working to raise funds for the student organic farms at Cornell University, Cal Poly Pamona and the University of Missouri. Funds are used to help secure land, purchase seeds and equipment and support the wage of full-time staff and part-time student interns. Once established, a student farm can generate income through the sale of produce to the local university community as well as through tuition charged for educational activities hosted on the farm (elementary school tours, etc.). If you are able to donate to our efforts, please see our contributions folder or contact a Green Planet employee.
Green Seeds Africa
Assisting communities in arid parts of
Central Africa to plant and maintain native trees and gardens.
Planting efforts attract moisture, grow food and medicines
for the benefit of the community and spawn the creation
of healthy ecosystems. Similar efforts have already been
proven very successful in restoring life to previously
desert areas of Nigeria.
Green Doc Malaria Project
Green Planet also supports research and
development in malaria treatments that are non-toxic, environmentally
sound and cost a fraction of the current treatment and
prevention methods.
