Farmer Managed Natural Regeneration

Nearly 4 million hectares of African forests are being cut down each year, at almost double the speed of the world's deforestation average. Deforestation worsens the impact of recurring drought, strong winds, high temperatures, infertile soils, pests, and diseases on crops and livestock. Combined with rapid population growth and poverty, these problems contributed to chronic hunger and periodic acute famine.
Through Farmer Managed Natural Regeneration, a low-cost sustainable land restoration technique, poor subsistence farmers and communities suffering from the effects of degraded land and climate change can be empowered. This innovative technique:
1. Restores tree cover
2. Improves soil fertility and doubles crop yields
3. Increases fodder and shade for livestock
4. More wild foods for nutrition and education
5. More timber and firewood
As the environment thrives the people thrive. With increased income, families can enjoy an improved quality of life such as better nutrition for their children and also keep them in school.
