  • Trees for fodder for the poor
    Poor urban and rural people with no land can still benefit from the income-earning opportunities brought by growing fodder - by using trees rather than more traditional sources. Research conducted in China proved that this was possible if they partnered with land owners in order to grow useful fodder trees on otherwise unused pieces of land (like that at the edge of roads, paths and fields). The project also identified the best fodder-tree options, and simple techniques to allay partners' fears that the trees might shade their crops. The project's findings have now been successfully applied in a range of countries, including Afghanistan, Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Indonesia and Pakistan. (Ref: FRP21)
