    Project Narrative

    Biodiversity and food security have been decreasing at an alarming rate in the Sahelian zone due to traditional farming practices, land clearing, soil erosion and population pressure. This project conducts on-site research into sustainable agro forestry farming systems appropriate to the region and communicates the results through training and demonstration farms. It also provides training in nutrition, infant and maternal health and hygiene to improve the overall well-being of the community.
