Brief me

The general objective is to increase the pace and scale of agroforestry-based restoration of degraded agricultural lands and sustainable use of biomass energy, with associated improvements of land health, livelihoods and poverty reduction. The specific objective is to effectively understand and demonstrate the ecological, social and economic pathways to, and resultant benefits from, the scale up of agroforestry-based restoration and sustainable biomass use in Eastern Province and in the peri-urban Kigali city of Rwanda.

The project seeks to increase uptake of innovative agroforestry options by the farmers and foster greater resilience through economic and ecological diversification, generating higher farm productivity and more diversified food through capturing more value from high commercial and nutritious agroforestry products. The project will use an evidence-based approach to generate knowledge and to propose a more diverse portfolio of agroforestry based landscape restoration options and improved cooking stoves technologies that will suit different landscapes and households circumstances in Eastern province and peri-urban areas of Kigali city.
