To address the decline of long-fallow swidden agriculture and agroforestry in Tanzania, this project combines research and action to restore these approaches in management of coastal forest areas. Farmer-led research, institutional capacity-building, and developing business opportunities based on ecosystem services will be combined to provide new sustainable land management options for small-scale farmers.
