Trees for food security - 2 project overview in Ethiopia

The second phase of the Trees for Food Security project (T4FS-2) begun in 2017 with the aim of accelerating the scaling up of successes of the first phase of agroforestry technologies for improved food security and resilient livelihoods. In Ethiopia, this includes enhancing knowledge of the impact of tree cover change on crop productivity, water, nutrients and livelihoods; integrating value chain development, introducing appropriate water management technologies and sustainable grazing options, establishing communities of practice for promoting locally adaptable agroforestry options supported by appropriate input systems; and strengthening the capacity of local institutions.
