CIFOR-ICRAF COUNTRY PROFILE: Zambia

Export citation

Stretching across the northern edge of Southern Africa, Zambia borders eight countries and, with a population density of just 21 people per square kilometer, has a wealth of land. However, soils are poor, and farm productivity is low, and an estimated 60% of Zambians live below the poverty line. The causes of poverty are many. But degradation of the natural resources upon which the populace depends is one of them.
