This document discusses an agroforestry farming system in Niger that uses multi-purpose Australian acacia trees to improve food security, incomes, and resilience to climate change. The Farmer Managed Agroforestry Farming System (FMAFS) integrates acacia trees, soil improvement techniques, and annual/perennial crops. Research shows FMAFS farms have higher yields, economic benefits, and more diverse incomes than control farms. The system regenerates trees, improves soil fertility, and provides food, fuel, and building materials. Researchers argue this approach could help transform degraded lands and address challenges of climate change across Africa's drylands.
