A lesson in compost-making

The project’s agroforestry component – which will diversify sources of food and income while increasing forest cover – is well on track. Phase 1 (2023–2026) aims to engage more than 900 families in agroforestry, and with a second cohort of 194 farmers (151 men and 43 women) joining the first 145 recruited in 2023, we’re more than a third of the way there. In this photo, some of these new farmers are taking part in a training session on how to make and use compost and fertilizers using locally available materials.
