Agroforestry in Brazil

 

 

Restoration through agroforestry in Brazil

Agroforestry can reconcile environmental goals and livelihoods and production in restoring degraded lands in Brazil.

This is the key message of this short film, which describes efforts by ICRAF and partners to develop agroforestry options for restoring environmentally sensitive areas on privately owned lands in Brazil. This project is coordinated by ICRAF Brazil in partnership with Embrapa Biotechnology and Genetic Resources – CENARGEN and the Institute for Society, Population and Nature- ISPN through the GEF Small Grants Program/UNDP.
