Sub-Saharan Africa faces challenges of growing population, low food production, and land degradation. Over 200 million people are undernourished and 6 million hectares of productive land are lost each year. Approaches that can boost agricultural productivity and scale up landscape restoration include rainwater harvesting, agroforestry, conservation agriculture, integrated soil fertility management, and integrated landscape approaches. These approaches could be applied on 300 million hectares in sub-Saharan Africa to improve food security and restore degraded land. The session will include presentations on successful landscape restoration projects in Ethiopia, the Sahel, and Malawi, followed by discussion on recommendations for national action plans.
