Is Land Degradation Neutrality compelling and achievable? Dennis Garrity Drylands Ambassador, UNCCD Senior Fellow, World Agroforestry Centre & World Resources Institute Chair, Partnership to Create an EverGreen Agriculture

Trend in non-climate related net primary productivity 1981–2006. Conijn et al New post-2015 Sustainable Development Goal: Zero Net Land Degradation by 2030

Trend in biomass productivity by farming system

Zero Net Land Degradation Classify all land into three categories: – Degrading – Regenerating – Stable Monitor land degradation and regeneration in terms of biomass production. Calculate the ratio: Regenerating/Degrading The target is a ratio exceeding 1.0

The Parkland Renaissance on Niger Farmlands

Farmer-Managed Regeneration of trees has been massively upscaled on the croplands in Niger

NIGER Bringing back the Sahel’s ‘underground forest’  5 million ha of land restored, over 200 million trees re-established Additional half a million tonnes of grain per year Reduces drought impacts Sequestration of carbon in soil and trees Learning from farmers: Farmer managed natural regeneration

Major agroforestry regions in West Africa and potential directions of expansion

Malawi Maize Lands Farmer Managed Natural Regeneration Expanding Widely

Vision for the Drylands 2 nd Africa Drylands Declaration «WE RECOMMEND AND PROPOSE that the drylands development community commit seriously to achieving the goal of Enabling EVERY farm family and EVERY village across the drylands of Africa to be practicing Farmer-Managed Natural Regeneration by the year 2025."

What is Evergreen Agriculture? A VISION of a more agroecologically intensive farming that integrates trees directly into crop and livestock production systems. Evergreen farming systems are ‘double- story’ systems that feature both perennial and annual species (food crops and trees), maintaining a green cover on the land throughout the year.

Conservation agriculture with reduced tillage and trees increases productivity while restoring land quality and reducing labor.
