Project Narrative

Environmental Impact The project will bring back indigenous tree species, increase local biodiversity and support plant and animal life. Trees will produce shade, whilst regulating the local micro-climate. Further, agroforestry systems will increase carbon sequestration levels, revive soil, and restore water cycles which have been increasingly drying out. Economic Impact Agroforestry will help farmers to secure precious yields. It will also increase their economic resilience by generating various income streams from different commodities cultivated on the same piece of land. Especially timber will face considerable demand on local markets. Furthermore, the costs for agrochemicals will be lower while the farmÕs productivity will increase.
