Land health surveillance and agroforestry can support land restoration in Africa by developing methods to measure and monitor land health over time. This will help target interventions to improve ecosystem health and human well-being. Opportunities for restoration include over 1.5 billion hectares of suitable land for restoring mosaic landscapes in Africa using forests, trees and agroforestry. Restoration should be tailored to context and address drivers of degradation, objectives, stakeholders, appropriate approaches, incentives and multi-party management. Cost-effective monitoring using technologies like soil spectroscopy can track land and soil condition and the impacts of restoration efforts.
