Создание насаждений из засухоустойчивых древесных пород на склоновых богарных землях обеспечит повышение продуктивности богарных земель и доходов местного населения. Локальное облесение богарной пашни предоставит экологические выгоды - снижение рисков водной эрозии, смягчение воздействия изменения климата путем секвестрации СО2 в древесной биомассе и почве, а также способствует общему оздоровлению окружающей среды.
