Project Description
This project is designed to promote good regenerative practices by combining trees and other foods on the same field, thus addressing climate change-related issues such as land degradation, biodiversity and others.
Our project will help to stabilize the soil, restore biodiversity and soil quality, and increase agricultural production while planting new species on the land, where there are trees that have become older and unproductive and whose growth has been disrupted by the agricultural activities practiced there .
In addition, this project will also enable the development of non-timber forest products such as bees keeping, while teaching local communities reforestation practices on their agricultural and non-agricultural land.
Stakeholders and local communities involved in the project
The local communities are involved in preparing the nurseries, planting the trees and monitoring the restored land.
We work with local communities, especially young people and women form rural areas where our projects based.
Project Goals
- Promoting sustainable agroforestry practices combine with reforestation and afforestation;
- Restoring the degraded/abandoned forest and land;
- Engage communities in land restoration practices;
- Develop value chains for non-timber forest products.
Co-benefits
Yes, agricultural production will increase on community land, and there will also be related activities to generate additional income, Species will be restored to provide social and ecological benefits, Water infiltration and soil retention by trees and plants will be improved, It will create jobs for young people and women who will be involved in planting and monitoring activities.
Tree species (planted and/or existing)
