Cocoa Farmer Agroforestry

Cocoa Farmer Agroforestry, Cameroon

Completed

This Trees for the Future (TREES) agroforestry project in Western Cameroon addresses erosion, food insecurity and the unsustainable farming practices of smallholder cocoa farmers. Through the intercropping of multipurpose trees and fruit trees, this project is helping 500 cocoa farmers to grow higher quality cocoa while improving their land, and livelihoods. We will plant 1 milllion trees (2.000 trees x farmer)
