Vi Agroforestry

This gives women and men living in poverty the opportunity to cope with the effects of the climate crisis. They increase their resilience and can thus improve their living conditions themselves, directly and in the long term. At the same time carbon dioxide is being bonded and the climate improves.

Agroforestry is about letting trees grow among crops and cattle. The trees make the farmers’ crops grow better: they provide shade, bind moisture and nutrient-rich nitrogen in the soil; prevents fertile soil from being washed away, contributes to biodiversity and provides compost material. All of this results in larger harvests and more food on the tables, more money to invest in the farm and in the children’s education.

Thus, Vi Agroforestry contributes to achieving seven of the UN Sustainable Development Goals: No poverty, Zero hunger, Gender equality, Sustainable cities and communities, Climate action, Life on land and Partnerships for the goals.
