Unveiling the Crucial Impact of Firebreaks During Harmattan

As the harmattan season approaches, African farmers face dry winds, dust, and high wildfire risks. Creating firebreaks, cleared strips that block fire spread, is a vital defense. Firebreaks protect crops, livestock, and livelihoods, ensuring food security and environmental sustainability. They reduce fire damage, preserve soil fertility, and safeguard communities.

By planning, clearing, and maintaining firebreaks together, farmers build climate resilience and promote sustainable farming in Africa. This harmattan, protect your land by preparing with effective firebreaks.
