Our main concern here is the promotion of improved food security at house-hold level. The programme includes training at a level of on-farm and off-farm, farm technologies, provision of agro – inputs and loan extension. The activities range from crop and soil fertilities management to animal husbandry. The introduction of organic farming concept is a significant component in our intervention to small farming communities.
The Project use a holistic approach where female and male small holders farmers have intensively support through different interventions such as improved access to financial services and agricultural inputs and capacity building trainings on a suite of topics such as a good agricultural practices (GAP), Value addition, Financial literacy, Business Development, Gender quality, Environment health and sustainability and other value chain development approach,
“The milk cow and small stock livestock” programme that is complementary in nature to organic farming will enable some households access to milk cow and small stock livestock.
This is achieved by a focus on increasing agricultural productivity, reducing post harvest loss, improving marketing and raising farm income. This is achieved through training to contact farmers. Contact farmers are trained in modern methods of farming and the use of improved drought resistant seeds and livestock development. Also farmers are provided with fertilizes, improved seeds, agricultural tools; such as watering cans, ox-carts and ox-ploughs.
