Leucaena is a fast growing nitrogen fixing tree with many uses. It originated in Central America and grows well in many places in the tropics. Because it fixes nitrogen gas from the air and make its usable to itself, plants and animals. It is extremely valuable to the environments. With its many varieties, Leucaena can produce nutritive forage (especially good for beef and dairy cattle), goats and water buffaloes.
It has multiple uses and is suitable for firewood, timber, charcoal, fence posts, and rich organic fertilizer. Its diverse uses in the tropics includes use in tropical reforestation, revegetation of steep slopes and eroded hillsides, shade and nurse trees for tropical crops and as an ornamental plant. Leucaena grows in both the tall type and a short shrubby type. It is widely used worldwide for livestock feed - grazing, dried and in cut and carry systems.
However, Leucaena’s greatest potential is for sequestering carbon and serving as a carbon sink in dedicated plantations. It will also be of great benefit as a carbon sequestering intercropper for farms in the tropic. Please join with the Leucaena Production Society to promote Leucaena for this life saving approach that may save our very lives by halting global warming.
The "Leucaena Tropical Cut and Carry System" for feeding tropical livestock can stop the destruction of the tropical rain forests in South America and Central America. The major reason for rain forest destruction in the tropics is to create low grade tropical pastures to feed cattle to make hamburgers in the USA. By planting Leucaena for livestock feed, and having farmers replant trees, rain forest destruction can be stopped. Find out how groups of 4-12 small farmers or entrepreneurs can start their own Cut and Carry Teams . Leaders are wanted in every country.
LEUCAENA BASED CUT AND CARRY HIGH-PROTEIN LIVESTOCK FEED
You can eliminate land clearing
for short term pasture in Central/ 
South
America and other tropical areas. The "Tropical Cut and
Carry Livestock Feed Program" was set into place by the
Leucaena Production Society. The Leucaena Production
Society is a membership organization of Leucaena growers
worldwide dedicated to Leucaena based rural agroindustrial
development, according to Dr. Carol Cross, Director of the
Society and initiator of the program.
Farmers in areas presently being felled for short term pastures will be assisted in developing the tropical Leucaena cut and carry program. Then they will serve as livestock feed producers for others moving into the area. The farmers who are cutting trees will be encouraged to retain the livestock in a reserve and given seeds and production assistance to plant Leucaena for their cattle. The program will consist of four components:
Each campesino agrees not to cut any more Old Growth trees.
Each campesino agrees to plant Leucaena and use it for livestock feed instead of clearing forest land for low grade pasture.
Each campesino agrees to pen his cattle and feed Leucaena in the cut and carry system.
Each campesino agrees to replant the deforested area he has cut for the low grade pasture.
The campesino farmer will be compensated for the trees he replants. He will be given tree seeds to plant. He will also receive enough Leucaena seeds to plant 1-5 acres of Leucaena depending on the size of his cattle herd. In addition, he will be given support through a local Leucaena Production Society group, a grapho-symbol based illustration of how to grow Leucaena, how to harvest, store and feed it to his cattle.
The Leucaena Production Society is a membership organization, sponsored by the ISAI. Information transfer Professionals will be licensed by ISAI and will serve a consultants to groups of campesinos in the project. In addition, volunteers are wanted to help prepare materials for use by these campesinos. Volunteers are needed to make cassette tapes, prepare information booklets, and to go to the tropics on short term consultancies to work directly with the campesino groups.
You can support this effort to stop cutting of trees
in the tropics by buying Leucaena seed cards and growing Leucaena
in your own backyard and making handicraft items from
Leucaena. For more information on how you can become a part
