Planting fruit trees is part of hurricane recovery

Listening to Cam Akin, one gets the impression that fruit trees can save the world.

Akin is executive director of the Fruit Tree Planting Foundation, a California-based charity that has brought its gospel of resurgence through fruit trees to impoverished areas around the world.

"If you are going to plant a tree, why not plant a tree that is going to provide shade, improve the air, water and soil, provide life-giving nutrition and enrich folks?" - Cam Akin, FTPF executive director
