Permeable rock dams serve to restore seriously degraded farmland and forest/rangeland and are used to fill in gullies and control water flow.
Through the installation of an irrigation scheme for market gardening combined with agroforesty, women’s production of trees and vegetables increases and infertile lands are restored.
Firebreaks cut vast tracts of rangeland into smaller areas, with a view to limiting damage in the event of wildfire.
