Agro Forestry

Seedlings ready to be planted

The main objective of the Agro Forestry project is to promote the planting of trees in the farms. Planting trees will provide farmers with cheap fuel in the form of firewood which should in turn reduce the ever growing pressure on the surrouding forests. To achieve a change in mentality and to get farmers to see the benifit of planting trees on their land we give 25 seedlings of trees to every one who purchases one of our improved cookstoves. By getting people to start planting trees we believe that they will see the value of doing so and that it will naturally be part of every farmers plan for land use in the future.
