• Project description
  The purpose of the project activity is the reforestation of lands that are currently croplands and grasslands under poor soil conditions. The total project area is 81.51 ha, which is fragmented in small parcels of land located in low income communities. The land owners are low income, small-scale farmers that have limited knowledge on more appropriate soil management practices, and the majority has no financial conditions to implement new and less impacting practices on their own. The project activity will contribute to poverty alleviation and improvement of environmental conditions (biodiversity conservation and soil erosion control), thus contributing to sustainable development. Local farmers will provide the parcels of land and labor, while JIRCAS with the support from INFONA will provide technical and forestry management inputs during the crediting period. In return, JIRCAS and INFONA will have the right to the income from CER resulting from the project activity and the farmers will have the right to the net income from forest products. The income of CERs will be essential for the continuation of this activity and the replication of similar project activities in other communities.
