Abstract	This document looks at the agroforestry efforts of George Nti'Gitonga, a farmer in Kenya's Meru District. Since 1967, Mr. Nti'Gitonga has established over 25,000 trees on his farm which he uses as fodder, food, fuelwood, timber, windbreaks, boundary plantings, erosion control, and maintenance of soil fertility. Also included in this document are Mr. Nti'Gitonga's method for growing his trees in the semi-arid environment, and how he plans on harvesting water for the trees.
