UNEP is supporting one significant project – The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity for Agriculture and Food (TEEBAgriFood) Initiative. This ongoing project is supported by the EU and focuses on the valuation of ecosystem services and the scaling up of organic farming and agroforestry interventions in Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, and Assam. It is progressing well to increase farmers' income and meeting land restoration commitments under the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD), as well as global priorities outlined in the GBF. Another noteworthy project of UNEP has achieved positive outcomes, including the inclusion of ecosystem-based disaster risk reduction (Eco-DRR) activities in Kerala and the participation of over 3,000 women and self-help groups. UNDP is engaged in agroforestry and ecosystem restoration projects in Gujarat, Maharashtra, and Karnataka. In Gujarat, they collaborate with local communities and the Forest Department to restore grasslands using native species and involve communities in the restoration process. In Maharashtra, where forest rights have been granted to local communities, they aim to work alongside them and the Forest Department to restore degraded areas. In Karnataka, the organisation focuses on coffee plantations, promoting biodiversity-friendly practices and gradually replacing exotic shade plants with native species, reinstating government schemes that incentivises the adoption of native species among coffee planters. KfW is active in Andhra Pradesh through the important Community-Based Natural Farming project, promoting natural farming principles such as no chemical inputs, use of native crop varieties, and natural botanical extract-based pesticides."}, {"bbox": [1027, 1681, 1145, 1706], "category": "Page-footer", "text": "Page 20 of 34"}]
