WHAT
WE DO
We strengthen the capabilities of smallholder farmers.
PROGRAMS & PROJECTS.
Agroforestry is the land-use practice in which trees and crops are grown together. The intentional combination of trees and agriculture has multiple positive impacts on social, economic, and environmental networks.
Broadly, when well-managed, agroforestry methods increase the productivity of agricultural crops, reduce the need for agriculture inputs such as fertilizers thus reducing costs, and diversify income and food sources for farmers.
​
We achieve success with a network of programs and participants.
WHAT WE GROW.
Before founding SEE Impact we interviewed thousands of farmers, toured numerous farms, and met with hundreds of non-governmental organizations across East Africa. In general, smallholder farmers reliant on staple crops such as maize, millet, and sorghum are not progressing. They are often at risk from climate and crop failures, living year after year at the same socioeconomic status. While farmers growing trees together with annual crops are making significant strides forward. Based on our research we were compelled to do agroforestry both for ourselves and for others to replicate. With that in mind, we began the difficult selection process of what to grow. The following provides more information about our main trees and crops.
