How to Explain Acorn
To smooth the path for understanding and sharing Acorn's story with field officers and farmers, we've created resources to help you explain the Acorn program. From video explainers to lively animations and clear infographics, you'll find downloadable links below.
'Train the Trainer' Package
The video below is created to assist you, our local partner, in delivering clear and accurate explanations of the Acorn program to your peers, training staff, field officers and farmers themselves.
You are free to download the video, key points, accompanying powerpoint presentation and animated GIFs for use in any Acorn-related training sessions or meetings.
For added convenience, subtitles are available directly on the Youtube video.
Explainer video
Do you need support explaining the Acorn carbon-agroforestry program to your farming communities? In this video, Marta Radinovic Lukic (Acorn's Asia Partnerships Manager) will help address the question “What is the Acorn program?”

'For the Farmer' package
To help farmers remember the key points from the Acorn program, we have created visual print material.
About Acorn Pocket-flyer
We designed a foldable A4 flyer for easy distribution and transport. The pocket-flyer includes the benefits of agroforestry on one side, and what the farmers can expect from Acorn's carbon income program on the other side. Ideally, the distribution is done by the data collector when onboarding the farmer.
These flyers have been adapted to different regions to ensure relevance and clarity. If your region or language is missing and you would like to distribute an adapted version to your region, please contact your Account Manager.
For printing, we have provided two files: PDF without any printer markings, PDF with 3mm bleed (for printers that need trim marks):
Latin America, Spanish (Print PDF | Print PDF w/ bleed)
Southeast Asia, Vietnamese (Print PDF | Print PDF w/ bleed)
Sub-Sahara Africa, English (Print PDF | Print PDF w/ bleed)
Infographic
To help explain Acorn to famers, we've created a infographic containing the most important parts of the Acorn program. We also created a specific version for community projects. If you need a localized version (language, logo), please contact your account manager.
