Evelyn Asante-Yeboah recognizes that agroforestry—the bridge between forests and agriculture—in Africa is critical to ensuring food security for current and future generations while protecting natural resources. “Managing trees on farms is so important, especially in Ghana where agriculture is seen as the most important economic sector, accounting for almost half of the country’s GDP and export earnings,” says Asante-Yeboah.
