As part of IFM’s ongoing commitment to sustainable land stewardship, new agroforestry demonstration plots have been established across selected operational areas. These plots showcase integrated land-use systems that combine forestry and agriculture for mutual benefit.
Agroforestry supports soil health, increases biodiversity, and provides communities with opportunities to cultivate crops alongside forestry assets.
Benefits of the New Plots
- Improved soil structure and erosion control
- Increased carbon sequestration
- Diversified household income opportunities
- Stronger ecological resilience during dry seasons
Local farmers have been closely involved in site selection and early planting activities.
Community Collaboration at the Centre
The initiative has been welcomed by participating communities, many of whom expressed appreciation for training support and access to improved agricultural practices.
Next Steps
IFM plans to expand the programme across additional districts, supported by ongoing monitoring and collaborative management.
