Where it is realized
Summary description of agroecological practice
Agriculture and Agroforestry; We promote economic growth by increasing the income of smallholder cocoa farmers through the cultivation of organic cocoa which enables them to receive good prices in Kenema and Kailahun Districts. Promote climate-smart agricultural farming as a future mitigation strategy for climate change by providing planting materials for mix cropping; cassava cuttings, plantain/banner suckers, nitrogen-fixing trees, and timber trees.
Environmental Protection and Agroecology; AESL promotes sustainable use of ecosystems and halts climate change by reclaiming degraded land by intensifying reforestation in the country through the development of community forests in a bid to increase tree cover, and consequently reduce the many environmental disasters that currently occur
