    It aims at bringing multiple social and environmental benefits by restoring forest cover in pastures and degraded areas. The farmers will plant timber trees on their own land, following various models (agroforestry with cocoa, pure stand, sylvopasture), and will benefit from trees‘ sustainable products (timber and others NTP when possible) and ecosystems services (as soil enrichment, water regulation, limitation of erosion, beneficial insects, humidity, etc.).
