Soil Regeneration through Cajanus cajan (pigeon pea) mini-forests [Madagascar]

Cajanus cajan, commonly known as pigeon pea, is a perennial shrub legume that thrives in nutrient-deficient soils and exhibits resilience to water scarcity. Cultivating pigeon pea contributes to the rejuvenation of impoverished soils through fixing atmospheric nitrogen and its leaf litter, while concurrently yielding food, fodder, and fuelwood.
