Cocoa, coffee, palm oil & other tree commodities r produced by smallholder farmers with scant access to electricity or liquid fuels. What if byproducts like cashew shells were used 4 energy? It’s about time! @drpeterminang #CircularEconomy @ForestsMatter @akin_adesina @duguma_l
The potential of bioenergy in enhancing resilient economically viable communities cannot be overstated.
Bioenergy generation from tree commodities can be produced cheaper locally, significantly reducing poverty, enhancing food production & consumption

📚 Domestication of locally adapted fruit trees has the potential of providing farmer
income and improving nutrition and local diversity, but requires control over
tree biology as well as access to land, labour and markets.

📱 Technology should support a pathway for people to benefit from trees: Economically, environmentally, and in their livelihoods. Without making this connection, ambitious forest restoration targets across Africa will not be met. @drpeterminang @VOANews

Today, @CIFOR-ICRAF hosted @FAODG and @Environment_Ke PS @EphantusKim at the Nairobi campus. 🇰🇪
The delegates got to learn about our research themes and discussed areas of synergy and collaboration, especially on matters of climate change mitigation, food and nutrition security.
Delighted to have hosted reps from @FirstLadyKenya mandated with #Environment and #Climate #Action in a consultative meeting to discuss the #potential that #green #tree #commodities present to the #economy of #Kenya. #government #privatesector #opportunities #vision2030
