Tree Alliance - Hobart

About

y 2050 the human population is forecast to expand from 7.5 to 9.6 billion people. This means that by 2050 we will require 70% more food, 50% more fuel, and 50% more water. We also need to reduce CO2 emissions by over 80%. All of these things will have to be achieved to ensure our economic, social, political, climate, food, water and fuel security. There's no silver bullet, but there is one thing that we can do to produce more food, improve water quality and efficiency, create biofuel, and improve the carbon balance - plant trees. So, we have created an alliance - a group or association formed for mutual benefit. Ours is a Tree Alliance. Because the planting of trees will benefit us all. The Tree Alliance brings together the individuals, organisations and landowners who are interested in harnessing the benefits of trees on farms. These ‘supporters’ understand the broad social, economic and environmental benefits that incorporating commercial tree plantings into the agricultural landscape can provide. Many have created resources and tools that can help farmers to make informed decisions about trees. The Tree Alliance provides the ideal platform to share that information. We work with our supporters to create, curate and share information as broadly as possible through articles, case studies, research reports and events. By joining the Tree Alliance, you will gain a platform for sharing your resources, access content to share through your channels, have an opportunity to collaborate on projects and events that target Tasmanian farmers and gain publicity benefits from supporting a proactive movement to benefit Australia.
