The Global EverGreening Alliance works with, and through, its numerous member organisations – and with governments and multi-lateral agencies – to implement massive land restoration programs. In so doing, the Alliance fosters collaboration, learning, sharing and harmonisation across institutions, sectors and borders.
Why we do it
Land degradation has negative impacts on food production, climate resilience, biodiversity and the livelihoods of millions of people. The major causes of land degradation are deforestation, poor grazing management, groundwater overdraft, inappropriate tillage practices, soil nutrient depletion, and adverse climatic conditions.
We believe the best way to restore degraded agricultural lands is through ‘’EverGreen Agriculture’’ – a type of regenerative farming that integrates trees into crop and livestock production systems.
EverGreening practices are transformational, affordable and accessible, science-based solutions for restoring cropland and rangelands, with multiple benefits. They simultaneously address both the challenges of chronic food insecurity and rural poverty, and the imperative for agriculture to both adapt to and mitigate climate change at a globally significant scale.
