Eritrea’s Green Gold: How Trees Are Solving Food Insecurity

The Horn of Africa is one of the most drought-affected regions in the world, facing repeated food shortages, land degradation, and climate stress. While emergency aid saves lives, it does not solve the root causes of hunger.
In this documentary, we examine Eritrea’s long-term agroforestry strategy known as Green Gold — a system that combines tree planting, drought-resistant crops, water harvesting, and community participation to restore degraded land and improve food security.
Eritrea has planted millions of trees, invested in soil and water conservation, and expanded climate-resilient crops such as sorghum, millet, legumes, and date palms. These efforts aim not only to strengthen domestic food production but also to build long-term resilience in one of Africa’s harshest environments.
This video explores:
Why the Horn of Africa’s food crisis is structural, not temporary
How agroforestry improves soil, water retention, and crop yields
Eritrea’s approach to drought-resilient agriculture
The potential regional impact on food security and stability
📌 Watch till the end to understand why sustainable agriculture may be the most powerful security strategy in the Horn of Africa.
