Heifer International, a not-for-profit organisation that supports smallholder farmers shows that 69 percent of farmers in the area where the organisation operates, resorted to tree-cutting for various reasons.
The study, published on Tuesday, found that when women were organized in village groups and Savings and Credit Cooperative Organizations-Saccos, they overcame some of the limitations that were stopping them from using tractors in their farming, including the issue of small acreages.
