Forest Gardens - Simiyu Region

Forest Gardens - Simiyu Region, Tanzânia

Our project employs a unique agroforestry approach that benefits local farmers and the environment. Monoculture and logging have degraded the land and left farmers reliant on a single source of income. So far, over 700 farmers are using the Forest Garden approach to rebuild food systems, improve livelihoods, and restore the environment. CO2 per species is rounded to 50kg, as this project is twinned with VCS credits.

Farmers are the driving force behind successful Forest Gardens, transforming degraded land into productive, self-sustaining ecosystems.

By carefully selecting and nurturing trees alongside crops, they improve soil health, enhance biodiversity, and create long-term food security.

Black bean seeds: small but mighty.

Rich in nutrients, they not only provide food security and income for families but also improve soil health by fixing nitrogen naturally. A simple seed with the power to nourish people and the land.
