Background

Established in 2017, originally as a department under the Zambia National Farmers’ Union (ZNFU), it later registered as an independent association with support from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).

Its core objectives include reducing deforestation, advancing socially responsible and economically viable forestry practices, and improving the livelihoods of its members through information sharing, education, advocacy, capacity building, and market linkage.
