  • Project description
    The purpose of the project is to reforest a portion of the land owned by 137 farmers and 3 communal areas covering an area of 247 ha and the implementation of 70 ha of silvipastoral systems on land of the same farmers. The proposed activity adds to sustainable development by introducing an integrated farming system aiming at efficient land use practices on the entire farm, considering current and future needs of the farmer family. Sustainable crop and timber production will generate income in the short, mid, and long term.
