TIST Participants -- Choosing Change
TIST’s Best PracticesMake a DifferenceConfidence and Empowerment
GhG:Long Term Income
Beyond SustainableDevelopment
SmallGroups
Confidence and Empowerment
• Small Groups developed the TIST program
• Small Groups implement TIST program
• Small Groups work to change behavior
• Small Groups see visible results of efforts
• Small Groups encourage and train others
• Small Groups are changing lives
TIST Groups -- Going BeyondSustainable Development
• Small Groups develop best practices• Small Groups disseminate best practices• Small Groups invest today in:
– Reforestation– Conservation farming– Soil enrichment– Improved health, education, information, etc.
• Small Groups– Meet their needs today, AND– Improve the ability of later generations to meet theirs!
Greenhouse Gas Income
• TIST Small Group activities sequester carbon in trees and improved soil– Planting diverse tree species– Implementing conservation farming,
• TIST Quantifiers verify, measure and monitor visible results
• CAAC creates the electronic “infrastructure” • Sequestration estimates provide CO2e impact• CAAC negotiates with purchasers to deliver long
term income to Small Groups
Small Groups Prepare Nurseries
• Gather seeds from local trees
• Make seedbeds of soil and compost
• Select best methods depending on species
• Tend and water during dry season
Thousands of Seedlings
Tens of Thousands of Seedlings
Tanzanian Groups - ready to plant
Indian Groups - ready to plant
Groups - prepare land for trees
Plant and tend young trees
1 year old tree
2 year old trees
3 year old trees
Trees now line paths
Trees now shade houses
Trees now allow grass to grow
Transforming the landscape…
Back to Forest
Improving agriculture saves lives
• TIST helps improve participants’ diets..
• TIST has doubled crop yields
• A balanced diet of several small meals each day improves HIV/AIDS survival and overall health
Good Harvest = Better Diet
Better Diet = Better Health
TIST - Developing Best Practices
• Best Practices are developed by Small Groups
• Newsletters, seminars, trainings disseminate best practices
• In 4 years -- dramatic innovation and improvement
Innovation: Cattle destroy trees and ground cover
Innovation: Solutions to land tenure, infrastructure
Innovation:Solutions to Eroded Soil
Dig Holes
“Harvest Water”
So Trees and Crops
Can Grow
Innovation: TIST WebsiteTransparent, Current Information

Time frame
Annual Economic
Benefit to Group Conservation farming techniques
Increased crop yield: 50 bags/group @ $9+ Both Short $450
TIST incentive payments
Direct payment:2,000 trees average @ $20/1,000 trees Income Short $40
Solar or clay oven (reduced charcoal demand)
Reduced charcoal demand: 33% savings off $36/year per participant average charcoal expense
Savings Short $120
Small Group bank accounts
Increased savings (3% interest) and community investment (1% value) on $25/group
Income Short $1
Water harvest and micro-irrigation
Dry season vegetables: 25% increase in yield Income Short $100
Bee habitats Honey produced: eight liters per hive per year at $2/liter, two hives per group
Income Short $32
Fruits and nuts Product from 2% trees are fruit/nut, each tree yields $10 annual sale (banana, papaya, $5; mango, $25)
Both Medium $400
Wood for crafts Wood sold for woodcrafts; 1% of trees mass after 10 years
Income Medium $200
Charcoal/ firewood for sale
Bags of charcoal for sale: 1% tree mass converted to charcoal after 3-5 years, 3 bags @ $3
Income Medium $9
Agroforestry benefits
Increased crop yield from nitrogen fixation, shade, windbreaks, reduced erosion, soil quality, water tables: after 4 years, 40 bags/group @$9+
Both Medium $360
Timber 1% trees into lumber after 10 years, yielding eight pieces/tree @ $1.50/piece
Income Medium $240

Effect of GhG Income on TIST
• GhG sales = Long-Term Group Income• GhG Income allows sustainable program• TIST now a self-replicating program
– explosion in group numbers– explosion in seedlings started
• Byproduct of explosion: lower cost/tree• Lower cost/tree = lower GhG costs• CAAC Focus - “keep our promises” to SG’s
