Dandara Rural Settlement
Agroforestry techniques are spreading!

Students from Instituto Terra have presented some great results from their monitoring of the Dandara agroforestry project. All of the farmers are happy with the project, and three-quarters of them are even applying agroforestry techniques in other parts of their farms! The survey found that before starting the project, the farmers' main motivations in joining were economic and well-being; after their agroforestry plots had been established, they also appreciated the added benefits of agroforestry systems: the importance of growing agro-ecological food in the rural settlement, and how collective activities during setup and maintenance strengthen the community.
