Tree Aid's study in Burkina Faso demonstrates the significant impact of promoting non-timber forest products (NTFPs) like shea and baobab on food security. Over 33,000 households benefited from improved access to NTFPs through nutrition gardens and sustainable forest management. The intervention led to a 263% increase in calories from NTFPs and a 42% reduction in child malnutrition, showcasing NTFPs’ role in enhancing rural health, income, and ecosystem preservation.
