Close to 44% of respondents said dust increased after road construction. Road dust reduced crop yields by 10-50% for some farmers. Planting trees along roads was found to mitigate these impacts by reducing dust and erosion. When linked to rural development, roadside planting can create jobs and income while improving the environment.
