Agro-Watershed Revival

Using fruit trees, native plants, and contour farming near rivers and streams to reduce erosion and retain water.

Crops growing near a restored watershed area

About this project

Agro-Watershed Revival focuses on the connection between healthy farms and healthy water systems. Communities use tree planting and land-care practices around sensitive watershed areas to reduce erosion and help the landscape retain water.

Key activities

  • Plant native and fruit-bearing trees near waterways
  • Promote contour farming on sloped land
  • Engage communities in protecting sensitive water sources

Intended outcomes

  • Reduced soil erosion near rivers and streams
  • Improved water retention across farm landscapes
  • More productive and resilient agricultural land
