Rural Livelihood Farmers Support Program
Diversified socio-economic impact
Rural farmers are helped to improve their livelihoods by planting Coconut trees and fruit trees. These trees help promote women’s empowerment and independence, increase biodiversity in the region, reduce poverty and improve greening in some of the driest places. The selected areas where afforestation is carried out are geographically devoid of trees. The aim is to increase green cover, and at the same time help rural farmers enhance their livelihoods through fruiting seedlings.
