How tree seedling nurseries are furnishing landscape agrobiodiversity in Zambia

This agrobiodiversity case study (No.6) from Zambia is the sixth of six case studies prepared by forest and farm producer organisations (FFPOs) for the Forest and Farm Facility (FFF).

It describes the actions of the Choma District Tree Nursery and Growers Association (CDTNA). CDTNA represents 111 members, either individual nursery growers or collective enterprises that furnish diverse tree seedlings for forest and agroforestry restoration projects across Southern Zambia. While CDTNA does not use the term ‘agrobiodiversity’ in its objectives, the association is a key player in promoting, supplying and sharing planting materials of more than 48 tree species, alongside the knowledge to support on-farm agrobiodiversity.
