Fight Poverty and Empower Women and Girls
Agroforestry means planting trees around crops to naturally stabilize and boost food production. It helps the rural poor by providing food security and produce to sell in local markets.
Sustinere’s reforestation projects place special focus on women and girls because we acknowledge that rural poverty is often most present for this group.Experience has shown that after reforestation, the tree survival rate through forest conservation activities is highest in projects that significantly involve women.
