Senegal: ENDA-SYSPRO Sustainable Agro-Forestry Practice
Last Updated: Nov 27, 2007

An project providing technical advice, organization training, and financial help to farmers can be seen as case of "serendipitous" adaptation. Under the tutelage of ENDA-SYSPRO, farmers set up co-ops dedicated to agro-forestry. Benefits include reduced soil erosion, reduced need for irrigation, improved soil fertility, increased income opportunities (through agriculture), and improved food security (through crops).
