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