Outreach, training, and school and youth programmes connect communities directly to environmental decisions that affect them, turning field research into public understanding and action.
5. Natural Resources & Agroforestry
Climate-smart agriculture, agroforestry, soil health, and sustainable land management sit at the heart of our rural programming, most visibly in Agroforestry for Prosperity.
