The UNEP agricultural team has been participating and created pilot models of agricultural development that inter-plants farming lands with nitrogen fixing perennials with the cropping annuals. As well some agro-forestry systems have been introduced creating shelter belts, fodder crops, fire wood and apiary (honey) farming. A series of small water storage dams are also being installed (under a donor development project initiative) to assist with mitigating water shortages during the longer dry periods expected as a result of the changing climatic patterns for the province (these a part of broader climate change mitigation activities being implemented across the province).
