🌍 Nairobi, Kenya – Kenya has officially launched their National Agroforestry Strategy 2025–2035, marking a pivotal milestone in advancing climate-smart agriculture, resilient livelihoods, and environmental restoration. 🌿
Agroforestry – the integrated practice of growing trees alongside crops and livestock – lies at the heart of this strategy. It empowers farmers by:
– 🌱 Improving soil health and boosting harvests
– 💧 Conserving water and preventing erosion
– 🌳 Restoring degraded lands while delivering shade, fodder, fruits, and firewood
– ☀️ Sequestering carbon to combat climate change
Aligned with the government’s Bottom-up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA), the strategy sets an ambitious target to establish 5 million acres of woodlots in Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASALs) by 2035. It also prioritizes:
– 💪 Youth as central players in agroforestry value chains
– 👩🏾 Gender inclusion, dismantling barriers for women and marginalized groups
This initiative goes beyond planting trees – it’s about revitalizing farms, strengthening families, and securing brighter futures for communities.
👏 Congratulations to the Ministry of Environment, Climate Change & Forestry and all partners for this achievement. Vi Agroforestry is proud to have contributed to the development process.
