Zambia, African Conservation Farming Unit
"Our CFU Zambia web site is for anybody interested in the promotion of Conservation Farming and Climate Smart Agriculture and we hope you will find it useful. In many parts of Africa, stagnant productivity, population pressure, environmental degradation and the threat of climate change suggest an increasingly bleak future for millions of African families whose livelihoods depend on farming."

Why trees mean life - TREE AID
"Trees make the land more fertile by keeping the top soil in place and putting important nutrients back into the ground. Their roots stabilise the ground preventing it from being washed away during the annual rains. Trees mean: food, vitamins and nutrients all year round, even when other crops fail; money from selling tree products to buy food, education and health; health as some trees can be used in natural medicines; enriched soil, making the land more fertile for crops to grow; shade from the scorching heat for people, wildlife and for the crops; tools and shelter made from bark and fallen wood"

Communities around the world turn to Trees for the Future for technical knowledge and planting materials so that they can bring degraded lands and struggling farmlands back to sustainable productivity.

"A farmer from the NW Region of Cameroon explains the uses of different tree species. These species, and many others, were grown in nurseries as part of the Eucalyptus Replacement Project which replaced 1.5 million felled eucalyptus trees with 3 million trees (60 species) for agro-forestry and water catchment preservation. The project was carried out in two stages between 2004 and 2009 and was funded by the Future in Our Hands"

Copy this file and make it your own. Try the videos if you can. The
manuals are at different levels and detail. You have permission to use them as long as you acknowledge the source. I've had very positive feedback from nearly all the sites mentioned here. The “forest forages” software could
be very helpful, but you can use their fact sheets anyway. “Trees for the
Future” reckons to plant a tree for 10cents. $50 = 500 saplings! Currently not
in Zambia. Tree Aid cover all costs for £10 a tree.
