Santal Valley combines science with old and new island knowledge to develop plantations that thrive under its climate-smart agro-forestry practices. As global temperatures become increasingly extreme, we are experimenting and developing climate-resilient varieties and crop management methods, such as alley cropping, windbreaks, and forest farming. This promises a triple win for climate-smart agriculture: nurturing enhanced productivity and adaptation, while contributing to mitigation in the face of climate change through a low carbon footprint.
