| description |
Reforestation measures for degraded
lands, strategies for the sustainable management of forest
resources, and agroforestry practices that incorporate trees
into farming systems are increasingly demonstrating their
promise for producing commercialized tree products. Although
the level of investment so far has remained modest, the
challenge is to find ways to scale up promising investments
in a way that will have a clear impact at the landscape
level. These types of investments can help achieve the
triple wins of climate-smart agriculture: increased incomes
and yields, climate change adaptation and greenhouse gas
mitigation.Market trends are promising for a wide range of
tree-based technologies, including tropical fruits, cashews,
honey, timber and wood products, lipids, gums and resins,
tree crops, and agroforestry systems. In many cases, African
entrepreneurs, farmers, civil society, and governments have
responded dynamically to the widespread challenge of land
degradation. The continent is dotted with landscapes where
production of trees on farms and in managed forests has
grown dramatically to meet market and subsistence needs;
sustainable agricultural practices and revegetation have
restored soils and watersheds; and key conservation areas
are being protected. However, this is not happening at the
scale required by societal needs in Africa. In part, this is
due to a lack of strategic cooperation and coordination
between private sector investors and land managers (who are
focused on realizing profitable opportunities and meeting
their own needs) and public and civil society actors (who
are focused on restoring forest cover and ecosystem
services). Such coordination is only possible when the
biophysical potential for landscape restoration, private
sector investment opportunity and incentives, and societal
demand for multiple benefits converge. Much can be learned
from examples of large-scale landscape restoration in
Ethiopia, Kenya, Niger, Tanzania, and Zambia, and the
variable roles of the private sector, farmers, government,
and civil society in supporting and undertaking investment. |
