Fight poverty and empower women and girls
- Agroforestry means planting trees around crops to naturally stabilize and boost food production. It helps the rural poor by providing food security and produce to sell in local markets.
- Sustinere’s reforestation projects place special focus on women and girls because we acknowledge that rural poverty is often most present for this group.
- Experience has shown that after reforestation, the tree survival rate through forest conservation activities is highest in projects that significantly involve women. (United Nations Forum on Forests, May 2018)
