Nature-Based & Restoration
Nature-Based Restoration
Restoring soil, land, and agricultural ecosystems through practical, nature-based solutions.
The Challenge
What problem are we trying to solve?
Land degradation — through erosion, declining soil health, and loss of vegetation — undermines farming and the environment.
Erosion
Erosion removes topsoil and leaves farmland exposed to further degradation.
Declining Soil Health
Soils lose the capacity to hold water, nutrients, and support productive farming.
Agricultural Degradation
Degraded land becomes harder to farm productively season after season.
Loss of Vegetation
Removing trees and ground cover leaves soil exposed and landscapes less resilient.
Inefficient Nutrient Cycling
Nutrients are not returned to the soil effectively, weakening the farming system.
Environmental Degradation
Land degradation weakens the ecosystems and landscapes that communities depend on.
Our Approach
How does TMI approach restoration?
Work with nature
Restoration is built on nature-based practices that protect and rebuild the soil.
Practical implementation
Solutions are implemented on the ground with farmers and communities.
Sustainable farming systems
The aim is farming systems that remain productive and resilient over time.
Long-term soil health
Soil is treated as the foundation that sustains agriculture and the environment.
Restoration Solutions
Practical solutions, implemented with communities
Integrated Erosion Management
A practical, nature-based approach to controlling soil erosion and protecting farmland.
Cover-Crop & Green Manure Systems
Cover crops and green manures that protect the soil surface and return nutrients to the soil.
Agroforestry & Alley-Cropping
Integrating trees and shrubs with crops to restore vegetation and improve the farm environment.
Composting & Biochar Workshops
Practical workshops on composting and biochar to build soil organic matter and improve nutrient cycling.
Common species: vetiver, napier, desmodium, crotalaria, calliandra, leucaena, and locally adapted natives.
