Northern Nigeria, particularly Kaduna State, is experiencing consequences of deforestation: land degradation, erratic rainfall, rising temperatures, soil erosion, and declining agricultural productivity, disproportionately affecting smallholder farmers. To combat this, the AGRA Kaduna Consortium Project launched an agroforestry initiative to plant 200,000 trees across 375 hectares in Kaduna, aiming to enhance agricultural productivity, rehabilitate degraded landscapes, strengthen community resilience, ensure food security, and enhance biodiversity.
