Deployment of forestry projects such as agroforestry, biodiversity preservation or development of alternative economic activities in partnership with disadvantaged communities (small farmers, natives, village associations) are a holistic remedy to these problems. They include every issue of sustainable development enabling:
• Soil and water depollution: nitrates are stored by trees;
• Air depollution: CO2 is absorbed and stored by trees;
• Cultivation development through agroforestry;
• Increase for small-scale producers;
• Reduction of factors affecting erosion;
• Soil and water preservation and desertification decrease;
• Diminution of sandstorms;
• Containment of global warming;
• Income and local food resources diversification.
There are agro-ecological technics as agroforestry that allow to harmoniously combine the protection of forests and farming development. Participating to reforestation promoting agroforestry in concert with small-scale farmers around the world constitutes a major stake and the social and environmental benefits to the Planet and Human kind are enormous.
