Trees for the Future is dedicated to ending extreme hunger and poverty across Sub-Saharan Africa by revitalizing degraded lands using the Forest Garden Approach. The Forest Garden Approach, developed by Trees for the Future, diversifies farming systems with trees and food crops that meet subsistence needs and market opportunities. While conventional agriculture programs focus on one or few crops, the Forest Garden Approach is rooted in diversifying each farm with many food crops and thousands of trees so farming families will be self-sufficient in their production of food, timber and non-timber forest products.
What is the Facilitator’s Guide?
The Facilitator’s Guide is designed for use in conjunction with the Technical Manual and Farmer’s Workbook to provide both facilitators and farmers with the resources and guidance needed to pursue the Forest Garden Approach within a four-year curriculum.
