• Project description
  The project develops Jatropha curcas plantations covering an area of 1411.34 ha of degraded soils mainly in the surroundings of the cities of Ourour and Kaffrine. The plantations will be located near villages around these cities to limit transport and facilitate the access of inhabitants as the project involves local hand-workers from villages. Local workers will be trained for both sustainable agricultural and forestry practices and hired for all plantation operational activities. The planned agro-forestry system will assure a proper management of trees in cultivated lands allowing the carbon storage by plants biomass and soils.
