• Project description
  The project will mobilize resource-poor farmers to raise tree plantations on farmlands. It proposes to link resource poor farmers and end users of wood products in order to optimize the land use and to facilitate the co-ordination of wood producers, agronomists, financial institutions and non governmental organizations to improve the livelihood opportunities of rural households. The project activity is implemented on the degraded farmlands or lands used for rainfed subsistence agriculture. The project objectives are: - Generating high-quality greenhouse gas removals by sinks. - Developing plantation and agro forestry models, which can provide multiple benefits to farmers in terms of timber, firewood and non-wood forest products. - Providing additional income and to promote livelihoods of resource poor farmers through carbon revenues. - Reforesting degraded lands to control soil and water erosion and reclaim lands. - Reducing the dependence of industry on natural forests thereby conserving biodiversity. - Building capacity of various stakeholders to benefit from global mechanisms.
