2. Descripción de la Tecnología MST
2.1 Breve descripción de la Tecnología
Definición de la Tecnología:
Farmer Managed Natural Regeneration (FMNR) is a proven SLM Technology to restore degraded wasteland and improve depleted farmland. The farmer regulates and facilitates the re-growth of existing trees stumps or self-sown seeds in the soil and thus promotes an increased soil fertility and water availability compared to cleared and cleaned up arable land.
2.2 Descripción detallada de la Tecnología
Descripción:
Conventional afforestation and tree planting requires a lot of inputs, labour and care including suitable seedlings, transport and regular watering while the survival rate in arid and semi-arid climates is often very poor1. Whereas Farmer Managed Natural Regeneration (FMNR) is a cheap and effective way to restore and improve even huge areas of degraded and depleted soils. The technology relies on the fact that even in deforested areas; soils still contain active roots and seeds of native woody plants. Selectively promoted, leaving only a few main shoots, they grow stronger and into real trees within a few years. This rapid technology has been successfully applied by World Vision in eight African countries including Kenya and Ethiopia2 and is now also being applied in Indonesia, East Timor and Latin America.
Apart from labour and a farmer’s knife, there are no major inputs required. The farmers like this technology as it is cheap and can be easily combined with other SLM technologies such as permaculture, inter-cropping, mulching and agro-forestry. At the same time it is very scalable, even a small plot of less the 1 ha or a whole hill can be re-vegetated within a short period. And the impact will be very positively on the soil, ecology, climate and health of crops, people and livestock. The farmer can use the prunings as firewood, and grow fodder below the trees; the tree branches and leaves can serve for mulching and the flowers as bee pasture, the fruits for consumption and sale. The trees break the winds and their shade protects sensible crops from the sun. The soil’s water retention capacity, structure, biology and fertility will improve. All effects contribute to soil, water and climate stabilization. One limitation might be the use of tractors and big land machinery, which is still mostly negligible for smallholder farmers.
Some practical steps for establishing a FNMR site
1) jointly agree on a target area (be it a field or "communal wasteland")
2) check out the area carefully for wooden plants (trees, bushes, mini-trees)
3) mark the bushes or trees that should be grown into bigger trees
(it is recommended consulting local/scientific knowledge on the trees species and its benefits, also if it carries thorns or poison?)
4) protect the whole area (fencing, life fence) or only the chosen trees against grazing and human disturbance
5) When the plants reach a height of 1 m start with pruning, only keep the 2-3 main shots, use the surplus branches for fire wood or mulching
6) Watering is in most cases not required as the indigenous trees have enough roots for self-supply
7) the specific cultivation and management practice depends on the trees species selected and the desired results (intercropping with maize, shade trees for coffee, fodder trees for livestock, flower trees for bees etc.)
8) fire and livestock are the main threats for a new FMNR site

It is a method with a great success: Farmer Managed Natural Regeneration (FMNR). World Vision employee Tony Rinaudo paves the way to grow trees, where hardly anything is produced. Meanwhile, the people in the Humbo region of Ethiopia are earning money from global emissions trade through greening their country. The World Bank is promoting the project and the local people can now provide for a better future. But in the beginning it was not easy for Tony Rinaudo and his colleagues to convince the farmers to protect the forest!
Es ist eine Methode, die durchschlagenden Erfolg hat: Farmer Managed Natural Regeneration (FMNR).
World Vision Mitarbeiter Tony Rinaudo lässt Bäume aufwachsen, wo das Land kaum noch etwas hervorbringt. Mittlerweile verdienen die Menschen in der Region Humbo in Äthiopien durch die Wiederbegrünung Geld im weltweiten Emissionshandel. Die Weltbank fördert das Projekt und die Menschen vor Ort können nun selbst für eine bessere Zukunft sorgen. Doch am Anfang war es nicht leicht für Tony Rinaudo und seine Mitstreiter, die Bauern davon zu überzeugen den Wald zu schützen!

Especifique cómo se introdujo la Tecnología:
- mediante proyectos/ intervenciones externas
Comentarios (tipo de proyecto, etc.):
The technology was introduced by World Vision through a public funded project on climate protection and natural resource management. It received the “Total Kenya Eco Challenge Award” in 2016. The introduction was done through the following steps. The project staff were trained on the concept after which they trained Government staff in forestry, education and agriculture department including chiefs and assistant chief who were to turn out to be the entry point/ ambassadors for the concept. Intense trainings, awareness campaigns, practical demonstrations, consultative meetings and observations were conducted. Till now more than 300 hectares of degraded land was reclaimed through FMNR and over 1000 farmers adopted the practice already.

- Agroforestería
Principales productos/ servicios:
The native trees provide shade, organic matter, fruits, fodder, firewood, bee pasture etc.
Typical crops in Kenya grown below the FMNR trees are maize, millet, mung beans, amaranth and sorghum, vegetables and coffee. It can be an advantage to promote the growth of Leguminous trees as they serve as source of nitrogen and many of them produce pods eaten by livestock.
Tierra no productiva
Especifique:
degraded wasteland
Comentarios:
Many of the typical hills and areas in Suba Sub-County are degraded and without forest anymore. Over exploitation through grazing and charcoal burning led to deforestation and soil degradation. Most of the water streams have disappeared in the meantime. The climate has become more harsh and arid. The native trees grown through FMNR provide shade, organic matter, fruits, fodder, fire wood, bee pasture etc.
3.3 Información adicional sobre el uso de tierras

4. Especificaciones técnicas, actividades de implementación, insumos y costos
4.1 Dibujo técnico de la Tecnología
4.2 Especificaciones técnicas/ explicaciones del dibujo técnico
The technical drawing above shows four typical stages of an indiginous tree in a FMNR site:
1) a suppressed shrub, very damaged by roaming animals or human interference
2) if this small shrub experience protection it will regenerate and grow many new branches
3) as soon as a bush has reached a height of 1 m the farmer can start with pruning keeping only a few major branches. This will help the tree to grow high and the farmer can yield branches and leaves for fire wood and mulching. Depending on the growth rate, pruning can be done 1-2 times a year.
4) A mature tree produces also fruits that can be harvested. As only major branches remain enough sunlight will reach the ground to allow the cultivation of crops or gras production.
Slope and spacing can varry a lot as FMNR is designed to be extremely flexible, giving farmers considerable freedom of individual choice on how to meet their own specific needs, using the free materials at hand (species mix), responding to the specific climate, soils, crop mix, and their own understanding, at the time of implementation. FMNR is being introduced into many different contexts where the environment and species mix, the specific land use (crop land, pasture or forest) and farmer needs, vary from region to region and even from farm to farm.
To date, FMNR has been successfully practiced in a variety of locally adapted ways such as:
- By individual farmers on their own land
- By communities on communal lands and in degraded forests
- By leaving very few trees (10 - 20 / ha), or by leaving very many (150 trees/ ha).
- By focusing on tree species predominantly used to provide firewood and building poles, or on species that have nutritious leaves that feed families or animals. Some use trees that fix nitrogen and can therefore increase the soil fertility for crops.
- Leaving a single stem to grow from a stump (and harvesting when larger), or by leaving multiple stems,
successively harvesting one each year.
- Allowing a single stem to grow into a permanent tree, and then harvesting 1/2 to 1/3rd of the branches per
year (such as pollarding). Pollarding provides larger wood harvests and more rapid re-growth.
- Allowing tree re-growth only on farm borders. The trees are allowed to grow close to each other and are
pruned high up the trunk. As need arises whole trees are harvested and re-growth is allowed to replace
the tree that was harvested.
- Leaving only trees, which are growing approximately in straight lines and moving self-sown seedlings and replanting them within these lines. Within the rows the trees are grown as bushes which are slashed to
ground level during the rainy season, except for single stems that are allowed to grow about every 12
meters. This is done to avoid interference with ploughing and because soil infertility is a major issue,
addressed by mulching with pruned branches.

The farmer harvest wood and non-wood products like honey and grass. Often FMNR is combined with agriculture or animal husbandry. As the crop yield increases the farmer can invest in more equipment and tools.
Comentarios:
Some of the costs incurred were covered by WV during inception of the project model of FMNR especially for the demonstration plots but the costs on household level are covered by the farmers themselves. Normal farm equipment is being used to establish the sites. The farmer needs some gloves und gumboots and the time for the additional works. Also some time is needed to be invested for training to get equipped with the required knowledge and skills. Live fence plants or throns from shrubs are normally collected/ taken from the pruned Acacia branches.
4.6 Actividades de establecimiento/ recurrentes

Comentarios:
Ideally, FMNR activities are not interfering too much with the normal farming activities except for mulching or compost making wherefore small tree branches can be used for firewood. In places where FMNR is applied to gain timber, branches and firewood in a sustainable way, it has supported to raise more income for households allowing them to meet their basic needs including school fees, medical bills etc.

The farmer harvest wood and non-wood products like honey and grass. Often FMNR is combined with agriculture or animal husbandry. As the crop yield increases the farmer can invest in more equipment and tools.
Comentarios:
Some of the costs incurred were covered by WV during inception of the project model of FMNR especially for the demonstration plots but the costs on household level are covered by the farmers themselves. Normal farm equipment is being used to establish the sites. The farmer needs some gloves und gumboots and the time for the additional works. Also some time is needed to be invested for training to get equipped with the required knowledge and skills. Live fence plants or throns from shrubs are normally collected/ taken from the pruned Acacia branches.
4.8 Factores más determinantes que afectan los costos:
Describa los factores más determinantes que afectan los costos:
Size of the FMNR site and the density and age of trees. Important precondition is fencing off the sites/ protection of trees against livestock. Most of the equipment needed is part of the normal agricultural tool set.

Comentarios/ especifique:
This applies to 1 acres piece of land that was not managed on FMNR compared to same size on good management FMNR and better quality fodder.
producción de madera
Comentarios/ especifique:
More wood is obtained from FMNR site because biomass increases faster and new ones regenerate faster. Before SLM, tree growth was suppressed.
producción de productos forestales no madereros
Cantidad antes de MST:
0 beehive
Cantidad luego de MST:
10 Hives /acre
Comentarios/ especifique:
Beehive for honey production could be introduced as more vegetation and flowers are now available. Medicinal plants are also gaining in importance.
manejo de tierras
Cantidad antes de MST:
Poor
Cantidad luego de MST:
Very good
Comentarios/ especifique:
It was not easy to manage the land before FMNR application. After the SLM technology was adopted the farmers find it less hard to work their farms besides the land value also went up.
Disponibilidad y calidad de agua
disponibilidad de agua para irrigar
Comentarios/ especifique:
Since FMNR improves the soil cover, less erosion and siltation take place in the community dams; hence more water available. Equally, those who harness surface runoff are able to get water for micro irrigation within their homesteads.
Ingreso y costos
ingreso agrario
Cantidad antes de MST:
Low
Cantidad luego de MST:
Medium
Comentarios/ especifique:
FMNR has provided additional/ alternative sources of income to the beneficiaries. Sale from wood, honey, medicinal components and non-wood products etc. This has led to a diversification of income sources.
carga de trabajo
Comentarios/ especifique:
The workload has increased slightly, depending on the density of FMNR trees on farm. The work is, however, more divers.
Impactos socioculturales
seguridad alimentaria/ autosuficiencia
Comentarios/ especifique:
The more diversified livelihoods reduce the risk of food insecurity. The impact of disasters will reduced and the self-sufficiency has increased.
oportunidades recreativas
Comentarios/ especifique:
Some of the farmers established recreation sites as the microclimate improved and the beauty of the sites, more animals can be seen including birds and butterflies but at the same time also dangerous snakes appear. Some sacred sites have also been safeguarded.
MST/ conocimiento de la degradación del suelo
Comentarios/ especifique:
Areas with deep gullies before FMNR application could be restored. Clear evidence that the technology has a high potential to rehabilitate degraded ecosystems.
Impactos ecológicos

Comentarios/ especifique:
Increase in population and density of indigenous tree species also as a starting point for management change towards agroforestry.
diversidad animal
Comentarios/ especifique:
Many animal species find safe habitats in new FMNR sites.
especies benéficas
Comentarios/ especifique:
Birds, butterflies, wild bees, spiders etc. - they control the pests and pollinate the crops.
diversidad de hábitats
Comentarios/ especifique:
Compared to degraded sites the FMNR sites provide more habitats e.g. in the trees or soil.
control de pestes/ enfermedades
Comentarios/ especifique:
Still not yet proven but the expectation is that pests will be less harmful as the coping mechanism of the agro-ecological systems is better due to more predators (spiders, birds, frogs etc.)
Reducción de riesgos de desastres y riesgos climáticos
impactos de inundaciones
Comentarios/ especifique:
FMNR serves also to mitigate the impact of annual floods to the crops and settlements.
impactos de sequías
Comentarios/ especifique:
FMNR improves the micro-climate and soil moisture. The technology therefore mitigates the impact of droughts.
emisión de carbono y gases de invernadero
Comentarios/ especifique:
Increase of tree cover through aforestation or FMNR as one of the ways to sequester carbon in biomass.
riesgo de incendio
Comentarios/ especifique:
Tree cover can increase the risk of major wild fires. Fire breaks should be considered for larger FMNR sites.
velocidad de viento
Comentarios/ especifique:
The trees of FMNR serve as wind break and protect houses, greenhouses, and crop fields against heavy winds.
micro-clima
Comentarios/ especifique:
The micro-climate and humidity improves due to more vegatation and evaporation.
6.2 Impactos fuera del sitio demostrados por la Tecnología

Comentarios:
FMNR is a low cost technology and brings a good return on investment. Slightly more land is required and mechanisation can become more difficult. Farmers are very optimistic of the long- term results of FMNR since the need for wood is high. Locals have started looking at having trees on farm as an equal investment opportunity compared to crops.

6.7 Fuerzas/ ventajas/ oportunidades de la Tecnología
Fuerzas/ ventajas/ oportunidades desde la perspectiva del usuario de la tierra |
---|
FMNR is appropriate for both male and female of productive ages though at the introduction depending on nature and size of the farm, men are more advantaged due to labour intensive. However for land with no trees just starting up, it can be easily managed by both sexes. It is also a form of exercise for the aging people thus improving on healthy lifestyle. |
Fuerzas/ ventajas/ oportunidades desde la perspectiva del compilador o de otra persona de referencia clave |
---|
FMNR can be done by anyone/everyone in a household as long as the drive and understanding of the concept is embraced. This includes people with special needs. It is cheap, efficient and refreshing plus satisfying since results are evident in short while. Tree planting survival rate has been low in the recent times following unreliable rainfall, external threats e.g livestock, pests and diseases thus FMNR is the solution to restoring the degraded ecosystems. Women may find the actual management difficult at some stage but since the concept brings income, even external labor is sourced. So the women don't fear getting on with the technology. |
6.8 Debilidades/ desventajas/ riesgos de la Tecnología y formas de sobreponerse a ellos
Debilidades/ desventajas/ riesgos desde la perspectiva del usuario de la tierra | ¿Cómo sobreponerse a ellas? |
---|---|
Safety of the farmers during management (thick thorny bushes) and habitat it creates for wild life that could be threats to man e.g snakes, monkeys eat all their crops as birds feed on the seeds too. | Monkeys can be kept out by thorney hedges, birds by mirrors and cats. |
Debilidades/ desventajas/ riesgos desde la perspectiva del compilador o de otra persona de referencia clave | ¿Cómo sobreponerse a ellas? |
