Farmer Managed Natural Regeneration (FMNR) is a catalyst for sustainable development which breaks the poverty cycle and facilitates a better future for the next generations in Kongwa by regreening landscapes using existing tree stumps and roots.

World Vision works alongside farmers and community members in trainings on reactivating this underground forest through the recognized method “FMNR”, as well as agroforestry and climate resilient agriculture. The project area consists of 5 villages that have been mapped with the support of Flying Labs Tanzania. Promising tree stumps, shrubs and small trees are selected, pruned & restored (approx. 200 trees/ha), and further promising plants promoted – regreening these communities who are suffering from drought and water shortages as a consequence of climate change. The expected outcomes are: regreened landscapes, increased famer expertise on sustainable agriculture, increased food production and improved family household income through development of tree-based value chains.
