Developments:
A successful tree-growing campaign helps Niger slow the desertification process, with positive impacts on rainfall and, therefore, farming in this arid country. The campaign was started by farmers who realised their land was becoming ever less fertile. As well as halting soil erosion and increasing rainfall, the trees are a valuable source of both food and income, as branches and fruit are sold and the revenues invested in improved farming techniques.
