Agroforestry Plan
Our comprehensive agroforestry strategy integrates trees with agricultural practices to create a sustainable, productive ecosystem that benefits both the environment and our community.
Windbreaks & Shelter
Strategic tree planting to protect crops and livestock from wind damage, reduce soil erosion, and create microclimates that improve agricultural productivity.
Intercropping Systems
Trees integrated with annual crops to maximize land use, improve soil fertility through nitrogen fixation, and provide additional income streams.
Shade & Livestock
Tree canopies providing natural shade for animals, reducing heat stress and improving animal welfare while creating comfortable grazing environments.
Long-term Woodlots
Dedicated areas for high-value timber species, ensuring sustainable wood production for future generations while maintaining biodiversity.
