Lands are becoming degraded globally but it is a particularly urgent problem in Sub-Saharan Africa. 🌍
Whilst most of us are aware of this, we all have different ideas about what constitutes degradation.

What does land degradation mean to you? 🤔⁉️

Farmers know their land best and have seen it change over time. Farmers are an integral part of Project ReDEAL and without them our research would likely be unsuccessful.
