The Agroforestry and Forestry in Sulawesi (AgFor Sulawesi) project aims to improve rural livelihoods by raising on-farm productivity, encouraging better environmental management, and improving governance. The initial focus has been on South and Southeast Sulawesi, two provinces which suffer from high levels of poverty and still possess significant tracts of natural forest. So far, several thousand people have benefited from training sessions on marketing, establishing demonstration trials, participatory governance and development of land-use models.
