Farmers for Forests makes biodiverse forests financially viable for communities. They help farmers and communities protect standing forests or afforest land. They first incentivize and fund this work via cash transfers to communities. And they increase incomes in the long-term by helping farmers sell forest produce from agroforestry and access carbon revenue.
