🌱 Improved clearing: An agroecological practice serving the land 🌿

Improved clearing is a simple and effective method that helps restore the soil while increasing agricultural productivity. It involves conserving and selecting a few young tree shoots during field preparation, rather than clearing everything.

🎯 Goal: Allow 1 to 3 stems to grow per stump in order to preserve useful vegetation.
🛠 How does it work? Identify and mark young plants, lightly thin to keep the best shoots, clear the land before the rainy season—sometimes with an additional clearing mid-season.
💡 Why adopt this practice? Because it: fosters a protective microclimate, combats soil erosion, enhances biodiversity and fertility, provides wood and fodder without harming crops, and contributes to carbon sequestration.
