Training Course on Agroforestry Systems and Sustainable Landscapes

Training Course on Agroforestry Systems and Sustainable Landscapes

Duration: 5 Days

Location: Nairobi

Course Overview
Agroforestry offers a practical and science-based approach to integrating trees with crops and livestock to enhance productivity, ecosystem services, and climate resilience. It is central to building sustainable landscapes that balance agricultural needs with environmental conservation.
This course provides participants with in-depth knowledge and hands-on skills in the design, management, and scaling of agroforestry systems for sustainable land use. It explores multiple agroforestry models, tree-crop-livestock interactions, soil and water conservation techniques, and landscape restoration strategies.
Participants will learn to apply agroecological principles to real-world settings — enhancing farm productivity, rehabilitating degraded land, conserving biodiversity, and contributing to climate change mitigation and adaptation efforts.
