This document proposes an integrated power generation and food production system called EverGreen Energy that uses gliricidia trees in Africa. Gliricidia trees are intercropped with food crops in Sri Lanka, providing wood biomass for electricity generation and foliage for biofertilizer and livestock fodder. Several power plants fueled by gliricidia have been commissioned in Sri Lanka. Gliricidia trees are widely distributed in Africa and used in agroforestry programs to increase crop yields. Research and public-private partnerships are needed to attract investment and demonstrate expanding agroforestry-based energy projects in Eastern and Southern Africa using gliricidia.
