No results found.Ghana has a total land area of 238,540 km2 and approximately 15% of the country has been set aside as forest reserves, wildlife parks, and the remaining 85% is owned by stools, skins and individuals across the country. All naturally occurring trees in off reserve landscapes are vested in the state but they occur in individual and community lands and farms. Most of Ghana’s agricultural system embraces the retention of trees during the course of cultivation with trees integrated in a mixture with crops. In the past, farmers destroyed these trees because their cocoa farms were destroyed by felling of trees for timber and they could not get compensation or any support from the state. To achieve Ghana’s Forest policy goals and objectives of the forest Plantation strategy, Ghana is piloting a programme to provide legal support for farmers, optimize the productivity and sustainability of smallholder farming systems by developing appropriate technologies that involve trees (incorporation of trees-on farm within 3.75 million hectares) and enhances connectivity and biodiversity between the agricultural and forest landscapes. A pilot programme to register all planted and naturally occurring trees at the district level has begun with recent support from Climate Investment Fund through Ghana’s Forest investment programme (GFIP) to provide options for tree tenure regimes, tree ownership and benefit sharing mechanisms for farmers to plant more trees. This paper highlights the importance of trees on farm for landscape restoration, legal framework and the procedures for tree registration, identified strengths and weaknesses and potential for climate change mitigation and adaptation as well as sustained reduction in degradation and deforestation whilst increasing productivity per hectare for farmers.

No results found.El proyecto Medios de vida resilientes de pequeños agricultores vulnerables en los paisajes mayas y el Corredor Seco de Guatemala (RELIVE) busca apoyar a familias que dependen de actividades agrícolas y agroforestales en condiciones de vulnerabilidad en los territorios de Guatemala para que adaptarse a los impactos del cambio climático. Para ello, se implementarán prácticas y medidas basadas en arreglos forestales y agroforestales resilientes al clima, una mejor gestión del agua y el fortalecimiento de instituciones, que les permitan mejorar sus medios de vida y, por tanto, tener mayores opciones para garantizar su alimentación, agua y economía. Asismimo, el proyecto Construcción de la resiliencia climática en comunidades rurales del centro y este de Guatemala (RESICLIMA) será puesto en marcha para fortalecer las acciones de RELIVE. RESICLIMA contribuirá a que agricultores y productores agroforestales aumenten sus capacidades técnicas y organizativas implementando prácticas agrícolas resilientes al clima; diversifiquen y mejoren sus medios de vida, su seguridad alimentaria y el manejo del agua a menor escala con actividades para conservación, recuperación y restauración de bosques, vinculado a los incentivos forestales.
