Farmer-managed natural regeneration, or FMNR, is a low-cost, sustainable land restoration technique used to combat poverty and hunger among poor subsistence farmers in developing countries by increasing food and timber production and resilience to climate extremes. It involves the systematic regeneration and management of trees and shrubs from tree stumps, roots and seeds. The technique was developed by the Australian agricultural economist Tony Rinaudo in the 1980s in West Africa, and its background and development are described in Rinaudo's book The Forest Underground.
