I have started planting local fruit trees with an aim to plant 120,000 local fruit trees in the next 3-5 years. Currently I have reached 3000 in the last 5 months, with another 1000 in polybags.

Leaving programming after 25 years of it, I wanted to do something that will help world be a better place even after I am gone. Trees have always appealed to me. Hence local fruit trees -- sell fruits to run farm once fruiting happens in a few years. Local plants are localized to climatic and soil conditions of the area thereby requiring the least nutrition, water and care.

Its going to be a bit slow from here for few reasons, I have to learn to grow saplings faster and out of season, make fertilizer year round and figure out how to ensure plants are growing. I have figured out some of it, but financial resource crunch will hit me in next 6-8 months. So now trying to come up with ways to handle that.

Help in any of the above is extremely welcome. Does anyone feel social impact funds will want to look at me?
