What are some successful agroforestry case studies related to the SDGs?

There are several notable agroforestry case studies that align with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). For instance, in Kenya, the Farmer Managed Natural Regeneration (FMNR) project has significantly improved land productivity and biodiversity while enhancing food security.

Can you tell me more about the FMNR project?

Certainly! The FMNR project encourages farmers to manage and regenerate trees on their land. This practice has led to increased crop yields, improved soil health, and greater resilience to climate change, contributing to SDG 15: Life on Land.

Are there any other countries implementing similar projects?

Yes, countries like Ethiopia and India have also implemented agroforestry practices. In Ethiopia, the Green Legacy Initiative aims to plant billions of trees, enhancing both agriculture and forestry.

What challenges do these projects face?

Challenges include land tenure issues, lack of access to resources, and the need for education and training for farmers to adopt these practices effectively.
