How we do it ( activities)
Agroforestry on farm, homestead, boundary &
hedgerows
Improved yields & diets
Fuel wood production,
soil & water management, hedgerows
Fodder for livestock management ( dairy farming)
UnsustainableSustainable charcoal production Farming as a business by income generating
activities.

GIS at Macro-scale == Basin Analysis
Baseline data:
Soil Erosion and transportation model Already developed models e.g RUSLE
Deforestation Rate and change over time
Competing activity e.g urban or agriculture
Siltation
Population changes Rates and impacts on food security, health etc
Help refine global models geographic models to adaptthem to local scenarios

Potentials for GIS
Current Activities
Fitting GIS into the programme monitoring system
Taking the baseline of current activities through GIS andsocio-economics
Tracing agroforestry footprints into the 1980s and 1990s
and current 2000s in previous areas of operation

GIS as Monitoring & Evaluation ToolTime dependent change assessment corroborated by
previous socio-economic data earlier Taking baseline of current activities through GIS and socio-
economics Basins analysis
Tracing agroforestry footprints into the 1980s and 1990s in
previous areas of operation
Sat images and looking at AOI
Measure impact of agroforestry in the previous areas of operation

Where can CG bridge the gap?
Downscaling some of the models for local
applications
Crop window model ( IFPRI)
Domain analysis (IFPRI) Climate change predictions 2010, 2030 (ILRI)
Model validation and update on the groundsmaller organizations can be of help
Help make the models become more & more accurate
