The scheme will help train Zambian smallholder farmers in measures to improve food security and make them more resilient to climate change.
The UK has pledged £6 million to help train Zambian farmers in “climate-smart agriculture” and reduce deforestation, the Government has said.
It will also support the planting of trees alongside crops in a practice known as agroforestry, which can protect food plants from rising temperatures, provide wood and store carbon. The investment is part of the BioCarbon Fund Initiative for Sustainable Forest Landscapes, a global programme to support projects that reduce carbon emissions and promote sustainable land use and conservation of forests.
“The destruction of forests across the world accounts for around 10 times the emissions of the UK – so we must do everything we can to safeguard our environment for future generations.”
