Empowering Communities Through & Sustainable Agroforestry

Sustainable Socio-Economic Agroforestry Association (SSEAFA) is a cooperative and partnership-based regional organization dedicated to building resilient livelihoods, restoring ecosystems, and advancing sustainable agroforestry practices. Rooted in community collaboration, SSEAFA works with local farmers, indigenous groups, and development partners to transform degraded landscapes into thriving, productive, and ecologically balanced systems.

Our focus lies in integrating cash crops such as cashew, coffee, banana, fruits, bamboo, and cane into diversified agroforestry models that sustain both people and the planet.

Together, we are shaping a future where economic growth harmonizes with environmental stewardship and cultural resilience.

Agroforestry & Polyculture Development

SSEAFA designs and implements integrated, multi-layered agroforestry systems that mimic natural forest ecosystems. Our model farms combine cash crops (cashew, coffee, banana, fruits, bamboo, cane) with native trees, vegetables, herbs, and medicinal plants, promoting productivity, soil fertility, and climate resilience. This polyculture approach increases biodiversity, reduces pest risks, and ensures year-round harvests.

Sustainable Livelihoods & Value Chains

SSEAFA enhances rural incomes by developing eco-friendly value chains for cashew, coffee, bamboo, fruits, and other agroforestry products.
We provide training in organic cultivation, cooperative marketing, and fair-trade certification to ensure that producers receive equitable returns.

Community Seed Saving & Genetic Diversity Program

We empower farmers to conserve and exchange indigenous and open-pollinated seed varieties, ensuring genetic diversity and seed sovereignty.
Through community seed banks, training, and participatory breeding, SSEAFA helps preserve local crop genetics and reduce dependence on hybrid and corporate seed systems.

Education, Research & Capacity Building

Through participatory workshops, farmer field schools, and academic collaboration, SSEAFA promotes research on agroecology, soil health, biodiversity, and climate adaptation. Our programs empower communities with practical knowledge for ecological farming, composting, pest management, and sustainable business planning.

Forest and Landscape Restoration Initiative

We restore degraded lands through community-driven reforestation and sustainable forest management. Indigenous and local communities play a central role in designing restoration models that align with cultural heritage and ecological needs.

Climate Resilience & Biodiversity Conservation

SSEAFA’s programs contribute to carbon sequestration, watershed protection, and wildlife conservation.
By combining traditional agroforestry knowledge with scientific monitoring, we ensure that each project enhances both community well-being and ecological integrity.

What We Do

AN AGROFORESTRY SYSTEM APPROACH

Conventional farming focuses on maximizing yields of a specific crop. It is based on a simple presumption: crop yields are increased by nutrient inputs and by controlling pests, diseases and weeds.
