Agroforestry for a Resilient Africa

Illustrated by QPLAN

The increasing pressures of climate change and land degradation have renewed interest in agroforestry as a potential solution for sustainable rural development in Sub-Saharan Africa. Can integrating trees into farming systems enhance agricultural productivity, household welfare, and climate resilience without compromising short-term economic returns? Understanding the effectiveness, trade-offs, and scalability of agroforestry is essential to determine whether it can serve as a viable pathway for both economic growth and environmental sustainability.
