Tree Farming Systems Nepal

Nepal ranks as the 17th poorest country in the world, with 41% of the population reportedly under-nourished and 30 of its 75 districts food insecure. Sixty six per cent of the population lives off a combination of agriculture and forest products. Factors preventing forestry systems from providing adequate livelihoods include low productivity, sub-optimal management, limited marketing opportunities and inequitable centralised planning and service delivery. This project in the Middle Hills of Nepal has three main objectives, to improve: the capacity of household-based agroforestry systems, the functioning of community-based forestry systems, and the productivity of and equitable access to under-utilised agricultural land.
