Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetAgroforestry plots establishment 2023
Also available in:
Rangelands and forests in Afghanistan have been increasingly degraded due to overexploitation since the host communities have no sufficient alternative livelihood options. The communities and members of the Rangeland Management Association (RMA) and Forest Management Association (FMA) uprooted bushes and shrubs from the rangeland as well as cut trees from the forest to sell in the local market to sustain themselves. To decrease the growing pressure on the rangeland and forest, FAO provided 2 341 beneficiaries with 118 800 apples, sweet orange, persimmon, almond, and orange saplings as one of the alternative livelihood options, which covered 3 261 ha of land. Each beneficiary was provided with 50 saplings. The combination of trees, crops, and livestock mitigates environmental risks, helps create a permanent soil cover against erosion, minimizes damage from flooding, and enhances water storage. In addition, agroforestry brings nutrients from deeper soil layers, or in the case of leguminous plants, through nitrogen fixation, which can convert leaf litter into fertilizer for crops. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetAfrican Forest Landscape Restoration Initiative (AFR100) Programme
Access to funding and technical assistance for forest and smallholder farm producers and enterprises to accelerate restoration-based value-added innovation, with focus on Africa
2024Also available in:
The African forest landscape restoration initiative (AFR 100) is a partnership between 34 African countries committed to restoring at least 100 million hectares of degraded land by 2030. The participating countries have committed a total of 129.5 million hectares for restoration. This four year programme, led by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and funded by the government of Germany with a budget of 40 million, will support the ambition of AFR100. It will help accelerate restoration and value added innovation by providing local communities, including smallholder forest and farm producer organizations, and Indigenous Peoples, with direct financial and technical assistance. It will strengthen the governance capacity of local communities and support them to increase their capacity to monitor and communicate restoration results and share lessons Learn, it will also help create restoration-based businesses and green jobs, improve livelihoods and develop resilience to climate change in selected landscapes in AFR 100 countries. FAO is seeking expressions of interest from organizations interested in collaborating on this programme. -
