The Sustainable Land Management (SLM) project is implemented by the Government of Mauritius with support from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and funding from the Global Environment Facility (GEF). It seeks to mainstream sustainable land management principles into national policies and productive sectors such as agriculture, livestock and forestry. The initiative also aims to strengthen institutional capacities, improve soil health and water efficiency, conserve biodiversity within production landscapes and enhance the resilience of agro-ecosystems to climate variability and change. Under Component 2 of the project - “Implementing SLM measures technologies for improved management and conservation of forest, agricultural and grazing ecosystems” - FAREI implemented a project focused on conservation agriculture and improved livestock technologies through the establishment of demonstration sites. The initiative promotes integrated crop-livestock production systems in which crop and livestock waste are converted into compost and reintegrated into agricultural systems to improve soil fertility and support sustainable fodder production.
