The evidence shows that Farmer Managed Natural Regeneration (FMNR) puts women in a stronger economic and social position making them able to feed their families with a more nutritious and diverse diet. FMNR has a significant impact on the availability of fuel, wood and water. Women benefit from this improved supply as it frees them to grow cash crop and earn extra income selling tree-based products such as the leaves of baobab, flowers of kapok and fruits of the shea and locust bean.
