This video highlights the benefits of agroforestry in the Sahel and explains how trees and shrubs can improve soil health and increase crop yields.

The video's key points are as follows:

-Leaving trees and shrubs in place instead of burning them protects the soil from degradation and erosion, and enriches the soil.

-Agroforestry, which integrates trees and shrubs into fields, has many benefits, including increased rainfall, provision of produce for sale and consumption, shade during the hot season, and availability of fodder during the dry season.

-Certain shrubs and trees, such as Gliricidia, Acacia albidia, Acacia rajana, and Piliostigma, are particularly beneficial for the Sahelian zone.

-Recommended best practices include planting trees in rows, protecting them from animals during the first few years, and creating stone cordons to collect rainwater.

-The use of oseil to collect rainwater and the maintenance of nurseries are also mentioned as beneficial practices.
