Tony Rinaudo: Forest Maker, Famine Fighter - I’m Just the Messenger | S2, Ep. 3

Tony Rinaudo, known as the “forest maker”, has spent the last 25 years working with communities to fight climate change in the world’s poorest countries. His revolutionary approach called “Farmer Managed Natural Restoration” was instrumental in pushing back the Sahara Desert in Niger, bringing 200 million trees back to life. The technique has since spread to 26 African countries, restoring 15 million hectares of farmland in West Africa alone. In this video he tells Michael Messenger, President & CEO of World Vision Canada how FMNR can be scaled up to prevent the next hunger crisis by mitigating the impacts of climate change on the most vulnerable people, increasing their ability to adapt and build their resilience against the shocks that lead to famine.
