Farmer-managed natural regeneration in Offaka, Uganda

Export citation

Farmer-managed Natural Regeneration(FMNR) is a rapid, low cost and easily replicated approach to restoring agricultural, forested and pasture lands. The method is being promoted by World Vision International as a project model in Uganda. FMNR is based on promoting systematic re-growth of saplings from existing tree stumps with the abil-ity to coppice (re-sprout) or by direct seeding in the soil. In Uganda, Offaka and Anyiribu 110sub-counties, the practice was introduced in 2010 by Tony Rinaudo, an FMNR champion from World Vision Australia, who came up with the idea in 1983 and 1984 while working in the southern region of Niger
