The Native Tree and Fruit Nursery Project will produce 30,000 seedlings per season to support reforestation, agroforestry, and improve food security in Rwanda's Eastern and Southern provinces.
Description: The Native Tree and Fruit Nursery Project aims to establish a center for producing native indigenous trees and grafted fruit trees, supporting reforestation and agroforestry efforts in Rwanda's Eastern and Southern provinces. The nursery will produce 30,000 seedlings each growing season for distribution to smallholder farmers. This initiative addresses the challenge of limited access to affordable native and fruit tree seedlings, empowering farmers to restore degraded lands and improve food security.
Goals: The Native Tree and Fruit Nursery Project aims to produce 30,000 seedlings per season to support reforestation and agroforestry in Rwanda’s Eastern and Southern provinces, providing affordable, high-quality trees to help farmers restore land and enhance food security.
Impact: The Native Tree and Fruit Nursery Project will improve reforestation and agroforestry, restore degraded lands, enhance biodiversity, and boost food security for smallholder farmers. By providing affordable, high-quality seedlings, the project will contribute to sustainable land management and increase farmers' resilience to climate change.
