Welcome to the website of Governance for Green Agriculture!
Governance for Green Agriculture works with southern and northern partners to develop programmes for the scaling up of agroforestry in semi-arid regions.
Agroforestry needs good governance
Over the last half century, development partners and farmers developed different sustainable agriculture technologies. Now, climate change forces us to look into low-carbon and adaptive agriculture, for which agroforestry is an essential component. Moreover, agroforestry contributes to rural food security and access to energy for the poorest people in semi-arid regions. Projects showed that the technology works for hundreds of thousands of families, but the question is how to reach the remaining millions. GOVGA believes that their right to practice and benefit from trees in cropped fields is the key to this opportunity.
The 2011 Durban talks allowed Sahel countries to include agroforestry into national climate plans such as NAMAs and NAPAs. GOVGA supports development partners to make agroforestry a reality for millions of rural men and women in the Sahel region.
