The Farmer Managed Natural Regeneration (FMNR) Business Plan for Zambia (2023–2033) outlines a comprehensive strategy to restore 2 million hectares of degraded land, contributing to climate resilience and improved livelihoods. World Vision Zambia aims to directly restore 600,000 hectares through community-based programming and catalyse broader adoption of FMNR practices to cover an additional 1.4 million hectares. FMNR is a cost-effective land restoration technique that involves the regeneration of native trees and shrubs from existing root systems or seeds. The plan highlights FMNR’s ability to improve soil fertility, water retention, biodiversity, and agricultural productivity, ultimately doubling crop yields and increasing income for farming families.

This transformed his farm, enabling consistent harvests, food security, and income for his family’s education. Ibrahim’s success story highlights the impact of sustainable farming solutions in conflict-affected regions.
