Catchment rehabilitation through economic transformation

Location: Eastern Cape, South Africa

Project impacts:

The project is centred around the endeavour to restore over 200 000 ha of degraded land. The point of departure was transform the agricultural economy of the catchment by designing and implementing agricultural businesses together with existing commercial and small scale farmers, enabling them to farm profitably on smaller land sizes, in order to make degraded land available for rehabilitation.
