The Forest Fruit and Forage for Farm Families project is designed to help farmers and their families in Ethiopia use forest resources, forage resources, and fruit resources already at their disposal. The farmers and staff identify and propagate local fruits, trees, shrubs, grasses, and herbs that meet their needs.

They conduct trials on forage for animals; fruit; and trees and shrubs which give useful products. Nurseries propagate the successful ones.

This project trains farmers and government workers and produces written agriculture materials in Amharic in the same model as the previously successful SIM Forestry Study Project.
