This project aims to explore sustainable food-growing methods that are more resilient to climate change, such as permaculture, regenerative farming, mixed cropping, and crop rotation. The project will enhance agricultural knowledge sharing and dissemination of research outcomes to local audiences using community radio platforms and podcasts.

The training component of the project targets four students partici­pating in the project as researchers. Of the four, three are master’s students and one is a PhD candidate. In addition, several registered farmers organizations, comprising mostly women and youth, will benefit from training on essential skills related to sustainable farming, value-addition, and post-harvest management. The training is expected to enhance farmers capacity to improve crop yield of staple food crops such as maize, beans, sorghum, cassava, millet, peas, arrowroot, assorted traditional vegetables, and fruits.
