Our programs

Climate Resilience

Restore degraded land using agroforestry practices to support agricultural production and help improve water quality, air quality, and soil health.

Food Growth

Help farmers access quality seed and training on regenerative agriculture to increase their yield and income. Triple the growing season and improve nutrition by empowering farmers to produce vegetables throughout the year using irrigated lands.

Community Development

Drill water wells, install solar powered pumps for clean drinking water for the community and for irrigation systems for farmers. Organize farmers into agricultural cooperatives to foster shared economic growth.

All FarmSahel’s activities focus on the end goals of improving food security and soil fertility with an emphasis on community-based, participatory methods. Our activities address climate change and promote regenerative agricultural practices.

Where we work

Burkina Faso

Burkina Faso’s ecosystems have suffered from deforestation and degradation over the last few decades. Poverty and reliance on wood for cooking has led to wide scale deforestation for charcoal production and for more land to farm. The country’s geographical situation makes it particularly vulnerable to climate change.


As a country in the Sahel, it suffers an extreme and variable climate affected by both flooding and drought within only a few months. Droughts, floods and a lack of rainfall all damage harvests, meaning families do not have enough to feed themselves throughout the year.


By building the capacity of communities to grow resilient and productive regenerative agroforestry systems, their food security and livelihoods will increase. Implementing regenerative practices will regenerate degraded land, revive soil life, improve water retention and foster local biodiversity.
