In many areas of rural Morocco, climate change has led to widespread erosion and desertification, causing steep declines in soil quality. This in turn makes farmland less productive and alters water flow patterns, endangering the livelihoods and food security of the area’s small-scale farmers.
Reforestation is crucial for improving soil quality and restoring balance to local ecosystems. Many IFAD-supported programmes incorporate reforestation practices in their efforts to help communities increase their resilience to the effects of climate change. And for some, like the Rural Development Programme in the Mountain Zones, reforestation forms the backbone of the project’s activities.
