The work

Agroforestry

Agroforestry brings trees and crops together on the same land. Choosing species that suit the soil, rainfall, available space, and nearby crops helps farmers plan for shade, soil health, and useful harvests without crowding the fields.

KCTNA's approach connects seedling production with thoughtful planting and long-term care. Healthy young trees need suitable sites, careful establishment, and ongoing attention to thrive alongside food crops.
